All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable

Pcap1_0

public sealed class Pcap0_9
extends Pcap0_8
permits Pcap1_0

Pcap0_9 relies on preview features of the Java platform:

• Pcap0_9 refers to one or more preview APIs: MemorySegment.

Programs can only use Pcap0_9 when preview features are enabled.

Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.

Provides Pcap API method calls for up to libpcap version 0.9

Method Details

setDirection

public Pcap0_9 setDirection(int dir)
                     throws PcapException

Sets the direction.

Overrides:

setDirection in class Pcap

Parameters:

dir - the dir

Returns:

the pcap 0 9

Throws:

PcapException - the pcap exception

See Also:

• Pcap.setDirection(int)

isSupported

public static boolean isSupported()

Checks if the Pcap subclass at a specific libpcap API version is natively supported. This is a safe method to use anytime on any platform, weather native library is present or not.

For example, Pcap1_0.isSupported() will accurately ascertain if libpcap API version 1.0 level calls are supported by the system runtime. Also a call such as WinPcap.isSupported() will determine if WinPcap related calls, ie. native WinPcap 4.1.3 or less, are supported and by extension if this is a Microsoft Windows platform.

Due to libpcap API versioning, it is safe to assume that if Pcap1_10.isSupported() returns true, that at least libpcap API version 1.0 is installed on this platform, and that all lower version calls such as libpcap 0.8 and 0.9 are available as well. The subclass hierarchy of jNetPcap module reflects the versioning of libpcap and its derivatives and the public releases of the native libraries. For example Npcap class extends WinPcap class because Npcap project took over the support for WinPcap where it left off.

Implementation notes: The check is performed by verifying that certain, subclass specific native symbols were linked with Pcap full which was introduced at a specific libpcap or related API levels.

Returns:

true, if pcap is supported up to this specific version level, otherwise false

openDead

public static Pcap0_9 openDead(PcapDlt linktype,
 int snaplen)
                        throws PcapException

Open a fake pcap_t for compiling filters or opening a capture for output.

openDead(org.jnetpcap.constant.PcapDlt, int) and pcap_open_dead_with_tstamp_precision() are used for creating a pcap_t structure to use when calling the other functions in libpcap. It is typically used when just using libpcap for compiling BPF full; it can also be used if using pcap_dump_open(3PCAP), pcap_dump(3PCAP), and pcap_dump_close(3PCAP) to write a savefile if there is no pcap_t that supplies the packets to be written.

When pcap_open_dead_with_tstamp_precision(), is used to create a pcap_t for use with pcap_dump_open(), precision specifies the time stamp precision for packets; PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO should be specified if the packets to be written have time stamps in seconds and microseconds, and PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NANO should be specified if the packets to be written have time stamps in seconds and nanoseconds. Its value does not affect pcap_compile(3PCAP).

Parameters:

linktype - specifies the link-layer type for the pcap handle

snaplen - specifies the snapshot length for the pcap handle

Returns:

A dead pcap handle

Throws:

PcapException - any errors

Since:

libpcap 0.6

openLive

public static Pcap0_9 openLive(String device,
 int snaplen,
 boolean promisc,
 long timeout,
 TimeUnit unit)
                        throws PcapException

Open a device for capturing.

openLive is used to obtain a packet capture handle to look at packets on the network. device is a string that specifies the network device to open; on Linux systems with 2.2 or later kernels, a device argument of "any" or NULL can be used to capture packets from all interfaces.

Parameters:

device - the device name

snaplen - specifies the snapshot length to be set on the handle

promisc - specifies whether the interface is to be put into promiscuous mode. If promisc is non-zero, promiscuous mode will be set, otherwise it will not be set

timeout - the packet buffer timeout, as a non-negative value, in units

unit - time timeout unit

Returns:

the pcap handle

Throws:

PcapException - any errors

Since:

libpcap 0.4

inject

public int inject(MemorySegmentPREVIEW packet,
 int length)
           throws PcapException

Inject.

Overrides:

inject in class Pcap

Parameters:

packet - the packet

length - the length

Returns:

the int

Throws:

PcapException - the pcap exception
