Source code main file of wireshark

0

I am trying to build and run Wireshark from source code on Ubuntu. I would like to know the main file in the source code which launches the application

The documentation says that i can execute the source code after build by running: $ WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 ./wireshark

But i also need to know the file which is launching the application.

Thanks

For the gtk version, program execution begins with ui/gtk/main.c:main(), and for the Qt version, program execution begins with ui/qt/main.cpp:main().
