PCAP_IS_SWAPPED(3PCAP)PCAP_IS_SWAPPED(3PCAP)NAME
pcap_is_swapped - find out whether a savefile has the native byte order
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_is_swapped(pcap_t *p);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_is_swapped() returns true if p refers to a ``savefile'' that uses a different byte order than the current system. For a live capture,
it always returns false.

pcap_open_offline, pcap_fopen_offline - open a saved capture file for reading
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
pcap_t *pcap_open_offline(const char *fname, char *errbuf);
pcap_t *pcap_fopen_offline(FILE *fp, char *errbuf);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_open_offline() is called to open a ``savefile'' for reading.
fname specifies the name of the file to open. The file can have the pcap file format as described in pcap-savefile(5), which is the file
format used by, among other programs, tcpdump(1) and tcpslice(1), or can have the pcap-ng file format, although not all pcap-ng files can
be read. The name "-" in a synonym for stdin.
Alternatively, you may call pcap_fopen_offline() to read dumped data from an existing open stream fp. Note that on Windows, that stream
should be opened in binary mode.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_open_offline() and pcap_fopen_offline() return a pcap_t * on success and NULL on failure. If NULL is returned, errbuf is filled in
with an appropriate error message. errbuf is assumed to be able to hold at least PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE chars.
