Expand description

A packet capture writer device.

Every packet transmitted or received through this device is timestamped and written (in the libpcap format) using the provided sink. Note that writes are fine-grained, and buffering is recommended.

The packet sink should be cheaply cloneable, as it is cloned on every transmitted packet. For example, &'a mut Vec<u8> is cheaply cloneable but &std::io::File

Implementations

Creates a packet capture writer.

Get a reference to the underlying device.

Even if the device offers reading through a standard reference, it is inadvisable to directly read from the device as doing so will circumvent the packet capture.

Get a mutable reference to the underlying device.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the device as doing so will circumvent the packet capture.
