.TH PCAP-SAVEFILE @MAN_FILE_FORMATS@ "21 October 2008"
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
pcap-savefile \- libpcap savefile format
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
NOTE: applications and libraries should, if possible, use libpcap to
|
||||
read savefiles, rather than having their own code to read savefiles.
|
||||
If, in the future, a new file format is supported by libpcap,
|
||||
applications and libraries using libpcap to read savefiles will be able
|
||||
to read the new format of savefiles, but applications and libraries
|
||||
using their own code to read savefiles will have to be changed to
|
||||
support the new file format.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
``Savefiles'' read and written by libpcap and applications using libpcap
|
||||
start with a per-file header. The format of the per-file header is:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.TS
|
||||
box;
|
||||
c s
|
||||
c | c
|
||||
c s.
|
||||
Magic number
|
||||
_
|
||||
Major version Minor version
|
||||
_
|
||||
Time zone offset
|
||||
_
|
||||
Time stamp accuracy
|
||||
_
|
||||
Snapshot length
|
||||
_
|
||||
Link-layer header type
|
||||
.TE
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
All fields in the per-file header are in the byte order of the host
|
||||
writing the file. Normally, the first field in the per-file header is a
|
||||
4-byte magic number, with the value 0xa1b2c3d4. The magic number, when
|
||||
read by a host with the same byte order as the host that wrote the file,
|
||||
will have the value 0xa1b2c3d4, and, when read by a host with the
|
||||
opposite byte order as the host that wrote the file, will have the value
|
||||
0xd4c3b2a1. That allows software reading the file to determine whether
|
||||
the byte order of the host that wrote the file is the same as the byte
|
||||
order of the host on which the file is being read, and thus whether the
|
||||
values in the per-file and per-packet headers need to be byte-swapped.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
If the magic number has the value 0xa1b23c4d (with the two nibbles of
|
||||
the two lower-order bytes of the magic number swapped), which would be
|
||||
read as 0xa1b23c4d by a host with the same byte order as the host that
|
||||
wrote the file and as 0x4d3cb2a1 by a host with the opposite byte order
|
||||
as the host that wrote the file, the file format is the same as for
|
||||
regular files, except that the time stamps for packets are given in
|
||||
seconds and nanoseconds rather than seconds and microseconds.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Following this are:
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
A 2-byte file format major version number; the current version number is
|
||||
2.
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
A 2-byte file format minor version number; the current version number is
|
||||
4.
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
A 4-byte time zone offset; this is always 0.
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
A 4-byte number giving the accuracy of time stamps in the file; this is
|
||||
always 0.
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
A 4-byte number giving the "snapshot length" of the capture; packets
|
||||
longer than the snapshot length are truncated to the snapshot length, so
|
||||
that, if the snapshot length is
|
||||
.IR N ,
|
||||
only the first
|
||||
.I N
|
||||
bytes of a packet longer than
|
||||
.I N
|
||||
bytes will be saved in the capture.
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
a 4-byte number giving the link-layer header type for packets in the
|
||||
capture; see
|
||||
.BR pcap-linktype (@MAN_MISC_INFO@)
|
||||
for the
|
||||
.B LINKTYPE_
|
||||
values that can appear in this field.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Following the per-file header are zero or more packets; each packet
|
||||
begins with a per-packet header, which is immediately followed by the
|
||||
raw packet data. The format of the per-packet header is:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.TS
|
||||
box;
|
||||
c.
|
||||
Time stamp, seconds value
|
||||
_
|
||||
Time stamp, microseconds or nanoseconds value
|
||||
_
|
||||
Length of captured packet data
|
||||
_
|
||||
Un-truncated length of the packet data
|
||||
.TE
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
All fields in the per-packet header are in the byte order of the host
|
||||
writing the file. The per-packet header begins with a time stamp giving
|
||||
the approximate time the packet was captured; the time stamp consists of
|
||||
a 4-byte value, giving the time in seconds since January 1, 1970,
|
||||
00:00:00 UTC, followed by a 4-byte value, giving the time in
|
||||
microseconds or nanoseconds since that second, depending on the magic
|
||||
number in the file header. Following that are a 4-byte value giving the
|
||||
number of bytes of captured data that follow the per-packet header and a
|
||||
4-byte value giving the number of bytes that would have been present had
|
||||
the packet not been truncated by the snapshot length. The two lengths
|
||||
will be equal if the number of bytes of packet data are less than or
|
||||
equal to the snapshot length.
