We already have a command-line tool that reads and writes capture files, is linked with libwireshark, and supports -H and -W; I'm not sure we need another one. Either that, or some or all of epan/addr_resolv.c should be moved to libwiretap or libwsutil, so you don't need libwireshark in order to usefully read or write Name Resolution Blocks (or the equivalent information in whatever other capture file formats support that). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
