pcap_open_offline, pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision,
pcap_fopen_offline, pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision -
open a saved capture file for reading
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
pcap_t *pcap_open_offline(const char *fname, char *errbuf);
pcap_t *pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision(const char *fname,
u_int precision, char *errbuf);
pcap_t *pcap_fopen_offline(FILE *fp, char *errbuf);
pcap_t *pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision(FILE *fp,
u_int precision, char *errbuf);
pcap_open_offline() and pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision()
are called to open a ``savefile'' for reading.
fname specifies the name of the file to open. The file can have
the pcap file format as described in pcap-savefile(5), which is
the file format used by, among other programs, tcpdump(1) and
tcpslice(1), or can have the pcapng file format, although not all
pcapng files can be read. The name "-" is a synonym for stdin.
pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision() takes an additional
precision argument specifying the time stamp precision desired;
if PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO is specified, packet time stamps
will be supplied in seconds and microseconds, and if
PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NANO is specified, packet time stamps will
be supplied in seconds and nanoseconds. If the time stamps in
the file do not have the same precision as the requested
precision, they will be scaled up or down as necessary before
being supplied.
Alternatively, you may call pcap_fopen_offline() or
pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision() to read dumped data
from an existing open stream fp.
pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision() takes an additional
precision argument as described above. Note that on Windows,
that stream should be opened in binary mode.
errbuf is a buffer large enough to hold at least PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
chars.
pcap_open_offline(), pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision(),
pcap_fopen_offline(), and
pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision() return a pcap_t * on
success and NULL on failure. If NULL is returned, errbuf is
filled in with an appropriate error message.
pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision() and
pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision() became available in
libpcap release 1.5.1. In previous releases, time stamps from a
savefile are always given in seconds and microseconds.
