I would like to use tshark in an automated test system to validate protocol
correctness. The expert info (ERROR) information is exactly what I want, but
tshark does not currently support it (for output).
The attached patch (quickly thrown together) adds a -P option to tshark that
will output the ERROR expert info for a packet after its summary line.
The only questionable change is the movement of tap_push_tapped_queue until
after the printing of the packet. I preferred this so that the summary line
appears *before* the expert info.
I am not extremely attached to the specifics, but I think that the feature is
very useful.
In order to automate the process, tshark returns an error code (the count of
ERRORs) if this mode is enabled.
