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