To me, if it doesn't work without -n and -t, then it makes it that much more user-friendly to automatically use pcapng and threads whenever multiple interfaces are specified.
Do we really need pcapng if multiple interfaces of the same type are specified or is this "only" to make it possible to see which interface the packet was captured on?
And speaking of "-i any", obviously on Windows, that isn't supported ... but a neat thing would be if it could be by internally scanning all interfaces and treating it as if "-i 1 -i 2 ... -i n" were specified.
I don't quite agree with this: any has a very specific meaning and will (normally) create pcap output, while your proposal would create pcapng output. Also the linux cooked capture type does not contain a L2 header. Maybe adding a new "all" pseudo interface would be better. Ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
