input:open("file.pcap")
input:receiver(filter_or_output)
input:run()

Read input from a PCAP file using standard library function fopen() and parse the PCAP without libpcap. After opening a file and reading the PCAP header, the attributes are populated.
Attributes¶
- is_swapped
- Indicate if the byte order in the PCAP is in reverse order of the host.
- is_nanosec
- Indicate if the time stamps are in nanoseconds or not.
- magic_number
- Magic number.
- version_major
- Major version number.
- version_minor
- Minor version number.
- thiszone
- GMT to local correction.
- sigfigs
- Accuracy of timestamps.
- snaplen
- Max length of captured packets, in octets.
- network
- The link type found in the PCAP header, see https://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html .
- linktype
- The data link type, mapped from network.
Functions¶
- Fpcap.new()
- Create a new Fpcap input.
- Fpcap:log()
- Return the Log object to control logging of this instance or module.
- Fpcap:receiver(o)
- Set the receiver to pass objects to.
- Fpcap:produce()
- Return the C functions and context for producing objects.
- Fpcap:fadvise_sequential()
- Use posix_fadvise() to indicate sequential reading (if supported), may increase performance. MUST be called before open().
- Fpcap:open(file)
- Open a PCAP file for processing and read the PCAP header. Returns 0 on success.
- Fpcap:openfp(fp)
- Open a PCAP file for processing and read the PCAP header using a file descriptor, for example io.stdin or with io.open(). Will not take ownership of the file descriptor. Returns 0 on success.
