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.
