Expecting the filename from application. So no need to define here.

See what it takes for multiprocess. If anything needs to be available
in graph walk(which runs on secondary process) needs to be part of
huge page. i.e part of rte_graph structure.

Add comment like, "Used to store the original process when pcap is
enabled"  or so

All of these public APIs are not needed. Since rte_graph is still
experimental to make it clean, please add file name and number of
packet to capture
in  struct rte_graph_param and update doc/guides/rel_notes/release_23_03.rst.

See following example in doc/guides/rel_notes/release_22_07.rst

API Changes
-----------

* Experimental structures ``struct rte_mtr_params``
  and ``struct rte_mtr_capabilities`` were updated to support
  protocol based input color for meter.
