This is complicated because dumpcap uses stderr to pipe error messages to Wireshark, but they have to be in a special format (see source code comment starting on line 3790 of dumpcap.c in the latest SVN). The sync_pipe_errmsg_to_parent() function might help you feed an error to Wireshark, which in theory it will pass through to the user in the GUI. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
