Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] dumpcap: handle primary process exit
Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2025 09:56:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251019165728.164929-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251019165728.164929-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
If primary process exits, then it is not possible (or needed)
to cleanup resources. Instead just exit after closing the
capture file.
Bugzilla ID: 1760
Fixes: cbb44143be74 ("app/dumpcap: add new packet capture application")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
