Thanks Guy. Is the best way then to parse pcapNG in code and run bpf_filter on the packets please.
a) open the pcap file in c b) parse the blocks c) For every enhanced packet block c1) Manually construct struct pcap_pkthdr * c2) Run bpf_filter explicitly This file can be updated as it is being parsed. So d) refresh the file when EOF :-) On Thu, Sep 13, 2018 at 4:59 PM Guy Harris <g...@alum.mit.edu> wrote: > On Sep 13, 2018, at 1:49 PM, Madhav Ancha <man...@tower-research.com> > wrote: > > > Is there a way to get the "options" along with the "packet data "in an > > Enhanced Packet Block when reading the pcapNG files please? > > No. There are no provisions in the current pcap API to provide that > information, as the API was designed when pcap format was the only format. > > Providing full support for pcapng would require a new API (which should be > able to support pcap files as well). > _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
