.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
are called to open a ``savefile'' for reading.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I fname
|
|
specifies the name of the file to open. The file can have the pcap file
|
|
format as described in
|
|
.BR \%pcap-savefile (@MAN_FILE_FORMATS@),
|
|
which is the file format used by, among other programs,
|
|
.BR tcpdump (1)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR tcpslice (1),
|
|
or can have the pcapng file format, although not all pcapng files can
|
|
be read.
|
|
The name "-" is a synonym for
|
|
.BR stdin .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
takes an additional
|
|
.I precision
|
|
argument specifying the time stamp precision desired;
|
|
if
|
|
.B PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO
|
|
is specified, packet time stamps will be supplied in seconds and
|
|
microseconds,
|
|
and if
|
|
.B 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Alternatively, you may call
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline ()
|
|
or
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
to read dumped data from an existing open stream
|
|
.IR fp .
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
takes an additional
|
|
.I precision
|
|
argument as described above.
|
|
Note that on Windows, that stream should be opened in binary mode.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline (),
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision (),
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline (),
|
|
and
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
return a
|
|
.I pcap_t *
|
|
on success and
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
If
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
is returned,
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is assumed to be able to hold at least
|
|
.B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
|
|
chars.
|
|
.SH BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline_with_tstamp_precision ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR 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.
