This is one of the possible uses of the device flags in the-tcpdump-group/libpcap#1388, it may require more work.

Add PCAP_IF_NO_INJECT and PCAP_IF_NO_CAPTURE to the list of known device
flags.  In show_devices_and_exit() do not print a shorthand number for
and in find_interface_by_number() do not count no-capture devices.
Update description on the "-D" flag in the man page.

1.enp8s0 [Up, Running, Connected]
2.enp4s0 [Up, Running, Connected]
3.ens5 [Up, Running, Connected]
4.any (Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces) [Up, Running]
5.lo [Up, Running, Loopback]
6.dag0 (alias for dag0:0) [none]
7.dag0:0 (Rx stream 0) [none]
8.dag0:1 (Tx stream 1) [none]
9.dag16 (alias for dag16:0) [none]
