OS X 10.6's ksh, at least, implements <(command) by running the command and
handing /dev/fd/{file descriptor number} as an argument.  I don't know offhand
what type of object the FD in question for the Wireshark process represents,
and I don't know offhand whether, even if it *is* something on which you can do
a select(), whether what you get by opening /dev/fd/{file descriptor number} is
a descriptor that refers to the exact same object (so that you could do a
select() if the original object supports it) or a descriptor that refers to a
devfs object (so that the select() would work only if devfs passes the select()
through).
