I'm writing a program to take capture files, filter out the packets specific to a particular program, and display them for the user.  It's designed for debugging.  This would be a lot easier if I knew the format of ethereal capture files, but I haven't had any luck finding the specifications.   Does anyone know where to find a detailed description of the output format?  Any format would do, but I'd prefer libpcap if possible.  Thanks,
