libpcapnav-0.8p3

library for navigating to arbitrary packets in a trace file

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

libpcapnav is a libpcap wrapper library that allows navigation to arbitrary locations in a tcpdump trace file between reads. The API is intentionally much like that of the pcap library. You can navigate in trace files both in time and space: you can jump to a packet which is at appr. 2/3 of the trace, or you can jump as closely as possible to a packet with a given timestamp, and then read packets from there. In addition, the API provides convenience functions for manipulating timeval structures.
