What do you mean by "a place to start the reset list of interfaces"?

Do you mean a place to clear the list of interfaces when a new capture
file is read?

If so, then, although there's no way to register a routine to be called
when a new capture file is read, there *is* a way to register a routine
to be called every time we make a new pass through a capture file and
dissect all its packets; that routine will be called when a new capture
routine is read *or* if a "filter packets" or "colorize packets" pass is
made over the packets in the current capture file.

However, that's probably good enough for your purposes.
