About:
This is a handy little library which provides a packet filtering mechanism based on the BSD packet filter (BPF). Most notably, tcpdump needs this to work, and there is also a perl module (still in beta) which can use this as well. In plain english, if you want to write your own network traffic analyzer, this is the place to start.

[»] pcap implementations?
by Peter Willis - May 26th 2004 10:34:07

I'm working on EtherDump and i'm considering writing a teeny-weeny implementation of the pcap format for my tool. Are there any other small/embedded implementations or really simple examples of how to structure it? I saw the pcap draft doc in CVS so I could always go on that, but an already written example is just so much quicker to follow, and plus if somebody's already got something made I can use I could just use that.

Michael Richardson at tcpdump.org has recently been working on libpcap. And tcpdump, obviously.
