Struct AsyncCapture 

pub struct AsyncCapture { /* private fields */ }

An asynchronous wrapper around a pcap::Capture.

AsyncCapture owns the receiver side of a channel that receives captured packets or a stop signal. It allows async code to await new packets without blocking a thread.

Implementations

impl AsyncCapture

pub fn new(cap: Capture<Active>) -> (Self, AsyncCaptureHandle)

Creates a new asynchronous capture from a pcap::Capture<Active>.

Spawns a background thread that reads packets and sends them through a channel for async consumption.

Returns a tuple of (AsyncCapture, AsyncCaptureHandle).

pub async fn next_packet(&self) -> Option<Result<Packet, Error>>

Waits for the next packet asynchronously.

Returns Some(Result<Packet, Error>) if a packet is received, or None if the capture has stopped.
