pcap_offline_filter (3pcap)

Name

pcap_offline_filter - check whether a filter matches a packet

Synopsis

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

int pcap_offline_filter(const struct bpf_program *fp,
const struct pcap_pkthdr *h, const u_char *pkt)

Description

                                                    PCAP_OFFLINE_FILTER(3pcap)



NAME
       pcap_offline_filter - check whether a filter matches a packet

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_offline_filter(const struct bpf_program *fp,
               const struct pcap_pkthdr *h, const u_char *pkt)

DESCRIPTION
       pcap_offline_filter()  checks whether a filter matches a packet.  fp is
       a pointer to a bpf_program struct, usually the  result  of  a  call  to
       pcap_compile(3PCAP).   h  points  to  the pcap_pkthdr structure for the
       packet, and pkt points to the data in the packet.

RETURN VALUE
       pcap_offline_filter() returns the return value of the  filter  program.
       This  will  be zero if the packet doesn't match the filter and non-zero
       if the packet matches the filter.
