Extraction of field names using tshark

I have very different type of pcap files and want to extract the field names from those files e.g. eth.dst, sctp.srcport in one go using tshark. I tried to find a magic command for that, but could not find it.

I want to convert the pcap file in the end into a csv file, but I need to have a list first, what fields there are....and "normal" looking at them from wireshark is not an option in the use case I have in mind.

thanks. it can be both linux or windows, since I will integrate it into a python script for both possibilities. I will check both approaches.

If working on linux (or Windows with WSL):
tshark -r <filename> -T pdml | grep "field name" | sed -e "s/^.field name=\"//" | sed -e "s/\".$//" | sort | uniq

thanks, the WSL trick is not really helping, as basically I would force the user of the python script to install WSL and also to install and run the python stuff there...which basically means, that the script will not be used. The classical wireshark export to csv skips many details and I want those....so I thought of tshark... but there one needs to know all the field names and can not just say "all" (at least not that I figured out)

If it can done with PowerShell would that be acceptable?
