Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Using wiretap library in a project

Yes, it would be a solution, since I didn't find anything related to pcap-ng in pcap(3) documentation, I thought pcap-ng is not supported yet. Where can I find the recent documentation regarding pcap-ng?

Libpcap has limited support for pcap-ng files since version 1.1.0, and
solid support since 1.2.1. Is upgrading to a recent libpcap version a
possibility?

If not then you should still be able to link against the wiretap
library and read in each packet that way.

Cheers,
Evan

Hello!

I am working on a C project, which uses the libpcap library to open the
capture files. Due to wireshark's migration to pcap-ng, most of the capture
files users give me, are pcap-ng format, so I can't use my code anymore,
without converting every pcap-ng to libpcap. Other capture formats except
pcap-ng and libpcap most probably won't be used, so I wanted to ask, is
there any way to convert the format from the code, without the system() call
to editcap? Or just open it as a simple libpcap file for further processing?

Cheers,
Daniel
