Extcap

Extcap is an interface between Wireshark and third-party programs allowing Wireshark to visualize their captures when they are capturing, control capture process and select what is being captured.

This is a Python library for the same. The library should not parse pcap stream (should parse only headers, the rest of frames should not be touched, because there are too many formats for the payload), instead it should concentrate on managing the process and providing the API for managing capture.
