PCAP_SNAPSHOT(3PCAP)PCAP_SNAPSHOT(3PCAP)NAMEpcap_stats - get capture statistics
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_stats(pcap_t *p, struct pcap_stat *ps);
DESCRIPTIONpcap_stats() fills in the pcap_stat structure pointed to by its second
argument. The values represent packet statistics from the start of the
run to the time of the call.
pcap_stats() is supported only on live captures, not on ``savefiles'';
no statistics are stored in ``savefiles'', so no statistics are avail‐
able when reading from a ``savefile''.
RETURN VALUEpcap_stats() returns 0 on success and returns -1 if there is an error
or the p doesn't support packet statistics. If -1 is returned,
pcap_geterr() or pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to
fetch or display the error text.
