Hi all, I have a little program that basically calls pcap_open_dead(), pcap_compile(), and then dumps the instructions like a C struct, so that we can include a bpf program in some other code that will use it later. (Like "tcpdump -dd", but with a little extra formatting.)
We may know that we will be using this code on a kernel that requires BPF_SPECIAL_VLAN_HANDLING, and so I'd like to be able to set that flag on a "dead" handle. Obviously, the current mechanism is to test this dynamically when the handle is live. Does anyone have any opinions about how to implement this, through the generic pcap interface? I can think of two possibilities: 1. implement set_special_vlan_handling_op, and have it implemented by dead and linux, and have the default version return an error 2. implement set_bpf_codegen_flags_op, and have a generic implementation, assuming that the caller completely knows what they are doing. Then move the definition of BPF_SPECIAL_VLAN_HANDLING from pcap-int.h to the public header. Anyone have a preference of which one I should go with, and/or have a better suggestion?
