You’ll have to somehow convert and decode the raw samples into data and dump 
them as perhaps a PCAP file that can be analyzed in Wireshark.

More general question – would it make sense for GNU Radio to have decoders than 
can dump to PCAP files? I noticed there are already TCP and UDP sinks, for 
instance, but they’re not exactly the same things of course.

Hello,
I'm trying to make a packet analyzer with gnuradio which will translate 
802.15.4 messages for me. I already have a gnuradio block that would pass my a 
raw data of the message from that start of frame. Right now the messages are 
saved into a text file by connecting this block to a file sink. I'm not sure 
how I read each message and analyze them. I don't know much about programming 
in gnuradio/python. Can someone suggest me what to do?
Thank you very much,

In my opinion packet analysis isn't the proper job of Gnu Radio itself.  What 
you can do is have your output file be a "FIFO" file (named pipe), and then 
attach an external analysis program to that FIFO, and write it in whatever 
you're comfortable with.
