Hi,

I don't wish to change wireshark. As far as I know, dumpcap and wireshark process run separately on linux...I feel same would be happening on windows too.

I don't know how the output from dumpcap goes to wireshark. I wish to replace dumpcap with my utility and want wireshark to decode the byte stream on run-time.

I don't wish to change the code of wireshark.

The problem is not clear. :-)

Are you trying to change Wireshark to be able to do a live capture of
packets from some source not currently supported by libpcap/WinPcap,
or are you trying to change Wireshark to be able to read a file
containing packets that have already been captured?
