Detailed Description

PCAP files input/output.

This namespace holds the compounds required to perform PCAP (Packet CAPture) files input/output.

• In order to read PCAP files, one needs a PCAP descriptor object. PCAP descriptors also enable users to instanciate dumper objects.
• In order to write PCAP files, one needs a dumper object.
• It is possible to consider separate PCAP files as one unique trace consisting of the concatenation of all files. Do this with a list_of_traces object.
• Use a match object to look for specific byte sequences into packets .
