14/* Magic numbers in "libpcap" files.
15
16 "libpcap" file records are written in the byte order of the host that
17 writes them, and the reader is expected to fix this up.
18
19 PCAP_MAGIC is the magic number, in host byte order; PCAP_SWAPPED_MAGIC
20 is a byte-swapped version of that.
21
22 PCAP_MODIFIED_MAGIC is for Alexey Kuznetsov's modified "libpcap"
23 format, as generated on Linux systems that have a "libpcap" with
24 his patches, at
25
26 http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/ip-routing/lbl-tools/
27
28 applied; PCAP_SWAPPED_MODIFIED_MAGIC is the byte-swapped version.
29
30 PCAP_IXIAMODIFIED_MAGIC is used by IXIA's lcap file format. It adds
31 a length field at the end of the file header (size of all records).
32 PCAP_SWAPPED_IXIAMODIFIED_MAGIC is the byte-swapped version.
33
34 PCAP_NSEC_MAGIC is for Ulf Lamping's modified "libpcap" format,
35 which uses the same common file format as PCAP_MAGIC, but the
36 timestamps are saved in nanosecond resolution instead of microseconds.
37 PCAP_SWAPPED_NSEC_MAGIC is a byte-swapped version of that. */
