.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Packet Capture library
|
|
provides a high level interface to packet capture systems. All packets
|
|
on the network, even those destined for other hosts, are accessible
|
|
through this mechanism.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH ROUTINES
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
in
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_open_dead() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_open_offline() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_fopen_offline() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_setnonblock() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_getnonblock() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_findalldevs() ,
|
|
.BR pcap_lookupdev() ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B pcap_lookupnet()
|
|
is assumed to be able to hold at least
|
|
.B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
|
|
chars.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
is used to obtain a packet capture descriptor to look
|
|
at packets on the network.
|
|
.I device
|
|
is a string that specifies the network device to open; on Linux systems
|
|
with 2.2 or later kernels, a
|
|
.I device
|
|
argument of "any" or
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
can be used to capture packets from all interfaces.
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
specifies the maximum number of bytes to capture. If this value is less
|
|
than the size of a packet that is captured, only the first
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
bytes of that packet will be captured and provided as packet data. A
|
|
value of 65535 should be sufficient, on most if not all networks, to
|
|
capture all the data available from the packet.
|
|
.I promisc
|
|
specifies if the interface is to be put into promiscuous mode.
|
|
(Note that even if this parameter is false, the interface
|
|
could well be in promiscuous mode for some other reason.) For now, this
|
|
doesn't work on the "any" device; if an argument of "any" or NULL is
|
|
supplied, the
|
|
.I promisc
|
|
flag is ignored.
|
|
.I to_ms
|
|
specifies the read timeout in milliseconds. The read timeout is used to
|
|
arrange that the read not necessarily return immediately when a packet
|
|
is seen, but that it wait for some amount of time to allow more packets
|
|
to arrive and to read multiple packets from the OS kernel in one
|
|
operation. Not all platforms support a read timeout; on platforms that
|
|
don't, the read timeout is ignored. A zero value for
|
|
.IR to_ms ,
|
|
on platforms that support a read timeout,
|
|
will cause a read to wait forever to allow enough packets to
|
|
arrive, with no timeout.
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is used to return error or warning text. It will be set to error text when
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
fails and returns
|
|
.BR NULL .
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
may also be set to warning text when
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
succeds; to detect this case the caller should store a zero-length string in
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
before calling
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
and display the warning to the user if
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is no longer a zero-length string.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_open_dead()
|
|
is 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_open_offline()
|
|
is called to open a ``savefile'' for reading.
|
|
.I fname
|
|
specifies the name of the file to open. The file has
|
|
the same format as those used by
|
|
.B tcpdump(1)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR tcpslice(1) .
|
|
The name "-" in a synonym for
|
|
.BR stdin .
|
|
Alternatively, you may call
|
|
.B pcap_fopen_offline()
|
|
to read dumped data from an existing open stream
|
|
.IR fp .
|
|
Note that on Windows, that stream should be opened in binary mode.
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is used to return error text and is only set when
|
|
.B pcap_open_offline()
|
|
or
|
|
.B pcap_fopen_offline()
|
|
fails and returns
|
|
.BR NULL .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_dump_open()
|
|
is called to open a ``savefile'' for writing. The name "-" in a synonym
|
|
for
|
|
.BR stdout .
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
is returned on failure.
|
|
.I p
|
|
is a
|
|
.I pcap
|
|
struct as returned by
|
|
.B pcap_open_offline()
|
|
or
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live() .
|
|
.I fname
|
|
specifies the name of the file to open. Alternatively, you may call
|
|
.B pcap_dump_fopen()
|
|
to write data to an existing open stream
|
|
.IR fp .
|
|
Note that on Windows, that stream should be opened in binary mode.
|
|
If
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
is returned,
|
|
.B pcap_geterr()
|
|
can be used to get the error text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_setnonblock()
|
|
puts a capture descriptor, opened with
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live() ,
|
|
into ``non-blocking'' mode, or takes it out of ``non-blocking'' mode,
|
|
depending on whether the
|
|
.I nonblock
|
|
argument is non-zero or zero. It has no effect on ``savefiles''.
|
|
If there is an error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message; otherwise, 0 is
|
|
returned.
|
|
In
|
|
``non-blocking'' mode, an attempt to read from the capture descriptor
|
|
with
|
|
.B pcap_dispatch()
|
|
will, if no packets are currently available to be read, return 0
|
|
immediately rather than blocking waiting for packets to arrive.
|
|
.B pcap_loop()
|
|
and
|
|
.B pcap_next()
|
|
will not work in ``non-blocking'' mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_getnonblock()
|
|
returns the current ``non-blocking'' state of the capture descriptor; it
|
|
always returns 0 on ``savefiles''.
|
|
If there is an error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_findalldevs()
|
|
constructs a list of network devices that can be opened with
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live() .
|
|
(Note that there may be network devices that cannot be opened with
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live()
|
|
by the
|
|
process calling
|
|
.BR pcap_findalldevs() ,
|
|
because, for example, that process might not have sufficient privileges
|
|
to open them for capturing; if so, those devices will not appear on the
|
|
list.)
|
|
.I alldevsp
|
|
is set to point to the first element of the list; each element of the
|
|
list is of type

|
|
.RE
|

.PP
|
|
Note that not all the addresses in the list of addresses are
|
|
necessarily IPv4 or IPv6 addresses - you must check the
|
|
.B sa_family
|
|
member of the
|
|
.B "struct sockaddr"
|
|
before interpreting the contents of the address.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B \-1
|
|
is returned on failure, in which case
|
|
.B errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message;
|
|
.B 0
|
|
is returned on success.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_freealldevs()
|
|
is used to free a list allocated by
|
|
.BR pcap_findalldevs() .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_lookupdev()
|
|
returns a pointer to a network device suitable for use with
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR pcap_lookupnet() .
|
|
If there is an error,
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_lookupnet()
|
|
is used to determine the network number and mask
|
|
associated with the network device
|
|
.BR device .
|
|
Both
|
|
.I netp
|
|
and
|

.I maskp
|
|
are
|
|
.I bpf_u_int32
|
|
pointers.
|
|
A return of \-1 indicates an error in which case
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B pcap_dispatch()
|
|
is used to collect and process packets.
|
|
.I cnt
|
|
specifies the maximum number of packets to process before returning.
|
|
This is not a minimum number; when reading a live capture, only one
|
|
bufferful of packets is read at a time, so fewer than
|
|
.I cnt
|
|
packets may be processed. A
|
|
.I cnt
|
|
of \-1 processes all the packets received in one buffer when reading a
|
|
live capture, or all the packets in the file when reading a
|
|
``savefile''.
|
|
.I callback
|
|
specifies a routine to be called with three arguments:
|
|
a
|
|
.I u_char
|
|
pointer which is passed in from
|
|
.BR pcap_dispatch() ,
|

a

pointer to a structure with the following members:

a

.I struct timeval
|

a

giving the number of bytes of the packet that are available from the

|
capture
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B len
|
|
a
|
|
.I bpf_u_int32
|
|
giving the length of the packet, in bytes (which might be more than the

number of bytes available from the capture, if the length of the packet
|
|
is larger than the maximum number of bytes to capture)
|
|
.RE
|

.B caplen
|
|
(as given in the
|
|
.I struct pcap_pkthdr
|
|
a pointer to which is passed to the callback routine)
|
|
bytes of data from the packet (which won't necessarily be the entire
|
|
packet; to capture the entire packet, you will have to provide a value
|
|
for
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
in your call to
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
that is sufficiently large to get all of the packet's data - a value of
|
|
65535 should be sufficient on most if not all networks).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The number of packets read is returned.
|
|
0 is returned if no packets were read from a live capture (if, for
|
|
example, they were discarded because they didn't pass the packet filter,
|
|
or if, on platforms that support a read timeout that starts before any
|
|
packets arrive, the timeout expires before any packets arrive, or if the
|
|
file descriptor for the capture device is in non-blocking mode and no
|
|
packets were available to be read) or if no more packets are available
|
|
in a ``savefile.'' A return of \-1 indicates
|
|
an error in which case
|
|
.B pcap_perror()
|
|
or
|
|
.B pcap_geterr()
|
|
may be used to display the error text.
|
|
A return of \-2 indicates that the loop terminated due to a call to
|
|
.B pcap_breakloop()
|
|
before any packets were processed.
|
|
.ft B
|
|
If your application uses pcap_breakloop(),
|
|
make sure that you explicitly check for \-1 and \-2, rather than just
|
|
checking for a return value < 0.

.ft R
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR NOTE :
|
|
when reading a live capture,
|
|
.B pcap_dispatch()

This routine is safe to use inside a signal handler on UNIX or a console

within the loop.

The flag is checked in loops reading packets from the OS - a signal by

Note that if you are catching signals on UNIX systems that support

restarting system calls after a signal, and calling pcap_breakloop()

that system calls should NOT be restarted by that signal. Otherwise,

if the signal interrupted a call reading packets in a live capture,

when your signal handler returns after calling pcap_breakloop(), the

call will be restarted, and the loop will not terminate until more

packets arrive and the call completes.

.B pcap_major_version()
|
|
returns the major number of the file format of the savefile;

returns the standard I/O stream of the ``savefile,'' if a ``savefile''
|

.B pcap_stats()
|
|
returns 0 and fills in a
|
|
.B pcap_stat
|
|
struct. The values represent packet statistics from the start of the
|
|
run to the time of the call. If there is an error or the underlying
|
|
packet capture doesn't support packet statistics, \-1 is returned and
|
|
the error text can be obtained with
|
|
.B pcap_perror()
|
|
or
|

.BR pcap_geterr() .
|
|
.B pcap_stats()
|
|
is supported only on live captures, not on ``savefiles''; no statistics
|
|
are stored in ``savefiles'', so no statistics are available when reading
|

from a ``savefile''.

.PP
|

.B pcap_fileno()
|
|
returns the file descriptor number from which captured packets are read,

if a network device was opened with

.BR pcap_open_live() ,
|
|
or \-1, if a ``savefile'' was opened with
|

.PP
|
|
.B pcap_get_selectable_fd()
|
|
returns, on UNIX, a file descriptor number for a file descriptor on
|
|
which one can
|
|
do a
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
to wait for it to be possible to read packets without blocking, if such
|
|
a descriptor exists, or \-1, if no such descriptor exists. Some network
|
|
devices opened with
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
do not support
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
(for example, regular network devices on FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4, and Endace
|
|
DAG devices), so \-1 is returned for those devices.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that on most versions of most BSDs (including Mac OS X)
|
|
.B select()
|
|
and
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
do not work correctly on BPF devices;
|
|
.B pcap_get_selectable_fd()
|
|
will return a file descriptor on most of those versions (the exceptions
|
|
being FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4), a simple
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
will not return even after a timeout specified in
|
|
.B pcap_open_live()
|
|
expires. To work around this, an application that uses
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
to wait for packets to arrive must put the
|
|
.B pcap_t
|
|
in non-blocking mode, and must arrange that the
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
have a timeout less than or equal to the timeout specified in
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live() ,
|
|
and must try to read packets after that timeout expires, regardless of
|
|
whether
|
|
.B select()
|
|
or
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
indicated that the file descriptor for the
|
|
.B pcap_t
|
|
is ready to be read or not. (That workaround will not work in FreeBSD
|
|
4.3 and later; however, in FreeBSD 4.6 and later,
|
|
.B select()
|
|
and
|
|
.B poll()
|
|
work correctly on BPF devices, so the workaround isn't necessary,
|
|
although it does no harm.)

.B pcap_dump_flush()
|
|
flushes the output buffer to the ``savefile,'' so that any packets

written with

but not yet written to the ``savefile'' will be written.
