Actually, I can add the named pipe in wireshark. But when I run the c++ example on http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes. Wireshark returns "Invalid libpcap format". Does that mean the file header of the pcap file is incorrect? The pcap file can be displayed on wireshark if I load it manually tho.

Hi Guy, Thanks for you reply. I don't understand what you mean by "giving the pathname of the named pipe as the name of the network interface on which to capture". Can you give me an example? I have followed the c++ example on http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes. I couldn't get it works. Am I missing something here?

To give some more detail: if the application writes a pcap file (complete with file header!) to a named pipe, you can have Wireshark or TShark capture from that named pipe, by giving the pathname of the named pipe as the name of the network interface on which to capture.
