Struct pcap_file::pcapng::PcapNgWriter

source ·

pub struct PcapNgWriter<W: Write> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

Writes a PcapNg to a writer.

Examples

use std::fs::File;

use pcap_file::pcapng::{PcapNgReader, PcapNgWriter};

let file_in = File::open("test.pcapng").expect("Error opening file");
let mut pcapng_reader = PcapNgReader::new(file_in).unwrap();

let mut out = Vec::new();
let mut pcapng_writer = PcapNgWriter::new(out).unwrap();

// Read test.pcapng
while let Some(block) = pcapng_reader.next_block() {
    // Check if there is no error
    let block = block.unwrap();

    // Write back parsed Block
    pcapng_writer.write_block(&block).unwrap();
}

Implementations§

source §

impl<W: Write> PcapNgWriter<W>

source

pub fn new(writer: W) -> PcapResult<Self>

Creates a new PcapNgWriter from an existing writer.

Defaults to the native endianness of the CPU.

Writes this global pcapng header to the file:

Self {
    endianness: Endianness::Native,
    major_version: 1,
    minor_version: 0,
    section_length: -1,
    options: vec![]
}

Errors

The writer can’t be written to.

source

pub fn with_endianness(writer: W, endianness: Endianness) -> PcapResult<Self>

Creates a new PcapNgWriter from an existing writer with the given endianness.

source

pub fn with_section_header(
writer: W,
section: SectionHeaderBlock<'static>
) -> PcapResult<Self>

Creates a new PcapNgWriter from an existing writer with the given section header.

source

pub fn write_block(&mut self, block: &Block<'_>) -> PcapResult<usize>

Writes a Block.

Example

use std::borrow::Cow;
use std::fs::File;
use std::time::Duration;

use pcap_file::pcapng::blocks::enhanced_packet::EnhancedPacketBlock;
use pcap_file::pcapng::blocks::interface_description::InterfaceDescriptionBlock;
use pcap_file::pcapng::{PcapNgBlock, PcapNgWriter};
use pcap_file::DataLink;

let data = [0u8; 10];

let interface = InterfaceDescriptionBlock {
    linktype: DataLink::ETHERNET,
    snaplen: 0xFFFF,
    options: vec![],
};

let packet = EnhancedPacketBlock {
    interface_id: 0,
    timestamp: Duration::from_secs(0),
    original_len: data.len() as u32,
    data: Cow::Borrowed(&data),
    options: vec![],
};

let file = File::create("out.pcap").expect("Error creating file");
let mut pcap_ng_writer = PcapNgWriter::new(file).unwrap();

pcap_ng_writer.write_block(&interface.into_block()).unwrap();
pcap_ng_writer.write_block(&packet.into_block()).unwrap();

source

pub fn write_pcapng_block<'a, B: PcapNgBlock<'a>>(
&mut self,
block: B
) -> PcapResult<usize>

Writes a PcapNgBlock.

Example

use std::borrow::Cow;
use std::fs::File;
use std::time::Duration;

use pcap_file::pcapng::blocks::enhanced_packet::EnhancedPacketBlock;
use pcap_file::pcapng::blocks::interface_description::InterfaceDescriptionBlock;
use pcap_file::pcapng::{PcapNgBlock, PcapNgWriter};
use pcap_file::DataLink;

let data = [0u8; 10];

let interface = InterfaceDescriptionBlock {
    linktype: DataLink::ETHERNET,
    snaplen: 0xFFFF,
    options: vec![],
};

let packet = EnhancedPacketBlock {
    interface_id: 0,
    timestamp: Duration::from_secs(0),
    original_len: data.len() as u32,
    data: Cow::Borrowed(&data),
    options: vec![],
};

let file = File::create("out.pcap").expect("Error creating file");
let mut pcap_ng_writer = PcapNgWriter::new(file).unwrap();

pcap_ng_writer.write_pcapng_block(interface).unwrap();
pcap_ng_writer.write_pcapng_block(packet).unwrap();
