You lost me... why would '-d'/'-Y' be usable during a live capture, but '-R' not? I thought '-R' was only *unusable* with live capturing when the '-w' writing output file was also set, on purpose due to concerns of privilege separation (ie, bug 2234). I put the same restriction in my patch for '-Y': it can't be used if both live-capture and writing to file are set. -hadriel ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
