In this patch, the library into which VFile is being passed is called "the C library", i.e., with the patch, we're not passing it to libpcap/WinPcap, we're passing it to fgets(); if you couldn't pass a FILE * to, say, fgets(), the stdio libraries would be completely useless. _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
