Hi.
I am looking to setup a kind of a sniffer manager in C that is cross
platform (Windows, Linux). I have everything working in both platforms,
with the exception of one thing - the main sniffing loop. So far, the code
I have used is nothing that I haven't already seen online in various places.

You could use pcap_next_ex(), for example.
who uses C
The tcpdump and Wireshark developers do, to give two examples.
The third argument to pcap_loop() isn't only useful for C++; it was, in
fact, originally designed for use in C.

HI
how to use a the last argument of pcap_loop ?
in my program i use :
u_char *user;
user="the message ";
pcap_loop(handle, -1, (pcap_handler) callback , user);
but not succe ,help me
give me example ?

I have one thread that sits in pcap_loop() and another thread that calls

It does appear that printf doesn't set errno, at least on linux and

It probably will set errno if

or
2) it calls "isatty()

hallo,
i didn't go into much detail but for a start:
i'd make "pcap_t *pfd" global and change:
if (!(pcap_open_live(iface, snaplen, 0, -1, errbuf)))
to
if ((pfd = pcap_open_live(iface, snaplen, 0, -1, errbuf)) != NULL)
this should get you started :-)
good luck,

Hi,
in the pcap file format, each packet is prefixed by a little header
structure that tells pcap details about the following packet.
"truncated dump file" means that at the end of the trace, there's a pcap
packet header that states that a packet of a size follows that actually

hello,
I am using tcpdump to capture packets from the netwok. I need to divide traces to
incoming and outgoing packets. So I wrote a filter file which contains IP adresses.
when I use the command : tcpdump -r tracefile.dump -F filterfile -w traceIn.dump, I
got the error message : pcap_loop:trun
