[root@planet ~]# tshark -i eth10
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
Capturing on eth10
tshark: The capture session could not be initiated (eth10: No such device
exists (SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device)).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have
the proper interface or pipe specified.
0 packets captured
[root@planet ~]# echo $?
0
Same happens with wrong filter. Apparently the error code doesn't get returned
correctly from dumpcap.
