Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Getting response values from wireshark ??

Hi,

Wireshark has no option to suppress it's output. You could play with the
way you popen(), but I'm not familiar what Solaris provides in this
respect.
pclose() should provide you with the exit status of Wireshark which is 0
if all is well, !0 otherwise.

Thanx,
Jaap
