i want to expose the validation of the display filter and use it like service?

any idea?

Do you want to do it programmatically (I mean you have a C code and you want to link with wireshark in some way) or can you do it running binary tshark?

If the latter, you can run "tshark -Y FILTER" and check the return code. 2 means error in the filter. You need something more that that, but it may be a starting point.
