extcap tools

[Ross Jacobs <rossbjacobs () gmail com>]

Hi All,

I am confused by differences in extcap between the CLI and the GUI. By
default (in 3.0.0 on both Windows, Macos), extcap tools are presented as
interfaces on the capture page.

*Questions*
1. In the Wireshark GUI, if you go to About > Plugins, you can see the
extcap directories. Is it possible to get the extcap directory using a CLI
command like tshark, dumpcap, etc.?
2. Why does dumpcap -D not show the same interfaces that the GUI does?

Cheers,
Ross
