I have an automation requirement, that needs tshark to be stoped upon meeting
certain condition.
 
From the tshark man pages, I found that stopping condition can be applied with
rrespect to duration, files, file size and multiple files mode.
 
Is there any stopping condition I can apply through capture filter so that
tshark stops capturing.
 
ex: Upon receiving a TCP SYN packet (condition applied in capture filter),
tshark stops capturing.
 
Please let me know any option like this is available.

This functionality is not yet available, although it has been requested and is
being tracked in https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2039.  You
might want to add yourself to the "CC List" for the bug, and then you will be
automatically notified of any activity surrounding it.
