PCAP_MAJOR_VERSION(3PCAP) PCAP_MAJOR_VERSION(3PCAP)

NAME

pcap_major_version, pcap_minor_version - get the version number of a
savefile

SYNOPSIS

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

int pcap_major_version(pcap_t *p);
int pcap_minor_version(pcap_t *p);

DESCRIPTION

If p refers to a ``savefile'', pcap_major_version() returns the major
number of the file format of the ``savefile'' and
pcap_minor_version() returns the minor number of the file format of
the ``savefile''. The version number is stored in the ``savefile'';
note that the meaning of its values depends on the type of
``savefile'' (for example, pcap or pcapng).

If p refers to a live capture, the values returned by
pcap_major_version() and pcap_minor_version() are not meaningful.
