Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] FW: Using the epan independently

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Indeed it's possible to isolate libwireshark and provide your own interface.
Tshark and Wireshark are only two possible implementations of that concept, 
providing a user interface and capture options. There will be no active support 
for this type of use though.
Please note that the GPL does apply, thus adding conditions on distribution.

Thanks,
Jaap
