net/readcapfile/readcapfile_example.c
Description
This source file is an example of how to read a capture file using NTAPI.
The NT_NetFile...() functions does not require NTservice to be running.
The following NTAPI functions are used:
- NT_Init()
- NT_NetFileOpen()
- NT_NetFileGet()
- NT_NET_GET_PKT_WIRE_LENGTH()
- NT_NetFileRelease()
- NT_NetFileClose()
- NT_ExplainError()
Prerequisites
- Capture file, that has been captured with the net/capture/capture_example.c example.
- The capture filename should be given as first argument to this example.
Program flow
The following is required to perform replay of a captured file
- #include/nt.h - Applications/Tools only need to include nt.h to obtain prototypes, macros etc. from NTAPI.
- NT_Init(NTAPI_VERSION) - Initialize the NTAPI library. NTAPI_VERSION is a define that describes the version of the API described in the header files included by nt.h. NT_Init() will ask the NTAPI library to convert return data to the NTAPI_VERSION if possible. This will ensure that applications can run on NTAPI libraries of newer versions.
- NT_NetFileOpen() - Open the captured file and assign it to a stream.
- NT_NetFileGet() - Get a segment from the file. This call will return NT_SUCCESS upon return of a segment and NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE when there is no more segments avaialble. The latter will cause the example to exit.
- NT_NetFileRelease() - Release the segment from the file stream.
- NT_NetFileClose() - Close the file stream when no more segments can be found.
