The file will have -the same format as those used by -.BR tcpdump (1) -and -.BR tcpslice (1). -The name "-" is a synonym -for -.BR stdout . -.PP -.B pcap_dump_fopen() -is called to write data to an existing open stream -.IR fp ; -this stream will be closed by a subsequent call to -.BR pcap_dump_close(3PCAP) . -Note that on Windows, that stream should be opened in binary mode. -.PP -.I p -is a capture or ``savefile'' handle returned by an earlier call to -.B pcap_create(3PCAP) -and activated by an earlier call to -.BR \%pcap_activate(3PCAP) , -or returned by an earlier call to -.BR \%pcap_open_offline(3PCAP) , -.BR pcap_open_live(3PCAP) , -or -.BR pcap_open_dead(3PCAP) . -The time stamp precision, link-layer type, and snapshot length from -.I p -are used as the link-layer type and snapshot length of the output file. -.PP -.B pcap_dump_open_append() -is like -.B pcap_dump_open() -but does not create the file if it does not exist and, if it does -already exist, and is a pcap file with the same byte order as the host -opening the file, and has the same time stamp precision, link-layer -header type, and snapshot length as -.IR p , -it will write new packets at the end of the file. -.SH RETURN VALUES -A pointer to a -.B pcap_dumper_t -structure to use in subsequent -.B pcap_dump(3PCAP) -and -.B pcap_dump_close(3PCAP) -calls is returned on success. -.B NULL -is returned on failure. -If -.B NULL -is returned, -.B pcap_geterr(3PCAP) -can be used to get the error text. -.SH BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY -.PP -The -.B pcap_dump_open_append() -function became available in libpcap release 1.7.2. In previous -releases, there is no support for appending packets to an existing -savefile. -.SH SEE ALSO -pcap(3PCAP), -\%pcap-savefile(5) |
