It means the mode used for "Update list of packets in real time" captures,
in which there are two processes - one that captures the packets, writes
them to a file, and sends to the other process over a pipe messages saying
that a certain number of packets have been added to a file, and one that
receives those messages, reads packets from the file, and updates the
display.
