Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] tshark and /tmp/etherXXXX files

["Dan Murphy" <danmurphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

wireshark does not crash opening them.  They are valid dump files.

Am I the only person that has reported this behavior or the only person that it's actually become an
issue for?  Is this the expected behavior of tshark?


Thanks,
Dan
