Struct SnifferHandle 

pub struct SnifferHandle { /* private fields */ }

A threaded packet sniffer that pushes captured packets into a channel.

The capture runs on a dedicated OS thread. Consumers read packets from the receiver end of a bounded crossbeam channel.

Implementations

impl SnifferHandle

pub fn start(config: SnifferConfig) -> Result<Self, SnifferError>

Start a new sniffer with the given configuration.

pub fn recv(&self) -> Option<RawPacket>

Returns None when the capture has ended (count/timeout reached or stopped).

pub fn try_recv(&self) -> Option<RawPacket>

Try to receive a packet without blocking.

pub fn stop(&self)

Signal the capture thread to stop.

pub fn is_stopped(&self) -> bool

Check if the sniffer has been signaled to stop.

pub fn join(self) -> CaptureStats

Wait for the capture thread to finish and return stats.

pub fn receiver(&self) -> &Receiver<RawPacket>

Get a reference to the receiver for use with select! or direct iteration.
