Porting PCAP Data to Another Application
You can port PCAP data to another application using the libpcap-compliant pcap file.
When you user the PCAP query utility to extract PCAP data, the utility creates a libpcap-compliant pcap file in the current working directory.

You can open the libpcap-compliant pcap file with any third-party tool that supports the file type. For example, you can load Wireshark and choose File > Open. Wireshark will load the pcap file.
