If these are indeed "intended limitations", than yes documenting on the Wiki would be a good start.This is the way how it works in Windows. If you want to get rid of that console window you can change the application type to Windows application (the difference is just one byte in PE header). This will get your application to start without standard handles (stdin, stdout, stderr). This is what I am going to do in USBPcapCMD sometime soon.
gspawn-win32-helper.c has a nice comment about this issue: /* We build gspawn-win32-helper.exe as a Windows GUI application * to avoid any temporarily flashing console windows in case * the gspawn function is invoked by a GUI program. Thus, no main() * but a WinMain(). We do, however, still use argc and argv tucked * away in the global __argc and __argv by the C runtime startup code. */ ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
