Extcap limitations?

Hi all,I have had a look at extcap in wireshark, it looks like dumpcap is being called to read from the FIFO which the excap binary writes to.
However, dumpcap is only able to read libpcap formats (not even pcapng) when reading from a pipe.
Shouldn't extcap support any arbitrary file format and/or determine the format on the fly by either specifying one in the extcap binary or via calling something like cf_open()?
Thanks and regards, ws ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
