I'm using tshark in a probe-type appliance, and I want the probe to capture
into a circular buffer, and to copy the files making up the buffer to an
analysis station . The circular buffering works perfectly, no problems, but I'm
finding it difficult to come up with a method of deciding when to upload, and
what file to upload.

I'd like to be able to do this:
tshark -i eth0 -b 20 -a filesize:10000 -q -w buffer.dmp --show-filename

and have tshark print
Finished writing to buffer-01.dmp
Finished writing to buffer-02.dmp

etc,etc

T'would be easy then.
