I have question :)
Do we really need to "capture" from pipes in dumpcap?
Wiretap already support reading pcap-ng, and many other file formats.
It doesn't support reading from pipes, but implementing it in dumpcap
just because of it looks like workaround for me.
So is it *really* needed feature or just workaroud for wiretap?
If workaround, wouldn't be better to add support for pipes in wiretap?
