Member Function Documentation

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Clear ( void  )

Clear all state bits of the underlying iostream.

Definition at line 72 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::PcapFile::Clear(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Close ( void  )

Close the underlying pcap file.

Definition at line 79 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::PcapFile::Close(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

bool ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Eof ( void  ) const
Returns
true if the 'eof' bit is set in the underlying iostream, false otherwise.

Definition at line 66 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::PcapFile::Eof(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

bool ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Fail ( void  ) const
Returns
true if the 'fail' bit is set in the underlying iostream, false otherwise.

Definition at line 60 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::PcapFile::Fail(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Init ( uint32_t  dataLinkType,
uint32_t  snapLen = std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max (),
int32_t  tzCorrection = PcapFile::ZONE_DEFAULT 
)

Initialize the pcap file associated with this wrapper. This file must have been previously opened with write permissions.

Parameters
dataLinkTypeA data link type as defined in the pcap library. If you want to make resulting pcap files visible in existing tools, the data link type must match existing definitions, such as PCAP_ETHERNET, PCAP_PPP, PCAP_80211, etc. If you are storing different kinds of packet data, such as naked TCP headers, you are at liberty to locally define your own data link types. According to the pcap-linktype man page, "well-known" pcap linktypes range from 0 to 177. If you use a large random number for your type, chances are small for a collision.
snapLenAn optional maximum size for packets written to the file. Defaults to 65535. If packets exceed this length they are truncated.
tzCorrectionAn integer describing the offset of your local time zone from UTC/GMT. For example, Pacific Standard Time in the US is GMT-8, so one would enter -8 for that correction. Defaults to 0 (UTC).
Warning
Calling this method on an existing file will result in the loss any existing data.

Definition at line 93 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::PcapFile::Init(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Open ( std::string const &  filename,
std::ios::openmode  mode 
)

Create a new pcap file or open an existing pcap file. Semantics are similar to the stdc++ io stream classes.

Since a pcap file is always a binary file, the file type is automatically selected as a binary file (fstream::binary is automatically ored with the mode field).

Parameters
filenameString containing the name of the file.
modeString containing the access mode for the file.

Definition at line 86 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and ns3::PcapFile::Open().

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Write ( Time  t,
Ptr< const Packet p 
)

Write the next packet to file.

Parameters
tPacket timestamp as ns3::Time.
pPacket to write to the pcap file.

Definition at line 112 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::Time::GetMicroSeconds(), NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and ns3::PcapFile::Write().

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Write ( Time  t,
Header header,
Ptr< const Packet p 
)

Write the provided header along with the packet to the pcap file.

It is the case that adding a header to a packet prior to writing it to a file must trigger a deep copy in the Packet. By providing the header separately, we can avoid that copy.

Parameters
tPacket timestamp as ns3::Time.
headerThe Header to prepend to the packet.
pPacket to write to the pcap file.

Definition at line 123 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::Time::GetMicroSeconds(), NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and ns3::PcapFile::Write().

void ns3::PcapFileWrapper::Write ( Time  t,
uint8_t const *  buffer,
uint32_t  length 
)

Write the provided data buffer to the pcap file.

Parameters
tPacket timestamp as ns3::Time.
bufferThe buffer to write.
lengthThe size of the buffer.

Definition at line 134 of file pcap-file-wrapper.cc.

References ns3::Time::GetMicroSeconds(), NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and ns3::PcapFile::Write().
