.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_open_dead()
|
|
and
|
|
.B pcap_open_dead_with_tstamp_precision()
|
|
are used for creating a
|
|
.B pcap_t
|
|
structure to use when calling the other functions in libpcap. It is
|
|
typically used when just using libpcap for compiling BPF code; it can
|
|
also be used if using
|
|
.BR pcap_dump_open() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_dump() ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B pcap_dump_close()
|
|
to write a savefile if there is no
|
|
.B pcap_t
|
|
that supplies the packets to be written.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I linktype
|
|
specifies the link-layer type for the
|
|
.BR pcap_t .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
specifies the snapshot length for the
|
|
.BR pcap_t .
|
|
.PP
|
|
When
|
|
.BR pcap_open_dead_with_tstamp_precision() ,
|
|
is used to create a
|
|
.B pcap_t
|
|
for use with
|
|
.BR pcap_dump_open() ,
|
|
.I precision
|
|
specifies the time stamp precision for packets;
|
|
.B PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO
|
|
should be specified if the packets to be written have time stamps in
|
|
seconds and microseconds, and
|
|
.B PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NANO
|
|
should be specified if the packets to be written have time stamps in
|
|
seconds and nanoseconds. Its value does not affect
|
|
.BR pcap_compile() .
