Specify directory for temporary captures
Add a capture option --temp-dir
to wireshark/tshark/dumpcap that
specifies the directory in which temporary capture files are to be
written. If not specified, uses the system default behaviour.
Add a GUI element in the capture options dialog for specifying this directory.
I found that this couldn't be effective as a user preference; it had to be a capture option in order to be successfully propagated to dumpcap child processes.
A lot of internal function signatures were changed so that the directory
location could ultimately be passed to create_tempfile()
.
Closes #16432 (closed)
