Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] mergecap from fifos

[Richard van der Hoff <richardv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The attached patch and replacements of wiretap/file_wrappers.{c,h} 
address the can't-mergecap-from-fifos problem by adding a layer of 
buffering to capture file access in wiretap.

This trick only works for capture file formats which can be read 
incrementally in a single pass, but since that includes libpcap, I've 
found it to be adequate for my needs.

I've found it works pretty well for me, but please do share any comments.

Richard
