PCAP_DUMP_FTELL(3PCAP)                                PCAP_DUMP_FTELL(3PCAP)

NAME top

       pcap_dump_ftell,  pcap_dump_ftell64 - get the current file offset for
       a savefile being written

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       long pcap_dump_ftell(pcap_dumper_t *p);
       int64_t pcap_dump_ftell64(pcap_dumper_t *p);

DESCRIPTION top

       pcap_dump_ftell() returns the current file position for the
       ``savefile'', representing the number of bytes written by
       pcap_dump_open(3PCAP) and pcap_dump(3PCAP).  PCAP_ERROR is returned
       on error. If the current file position does not fit in a long, it
       will be truncated; this can happen on 32-bit UNIX-like systems with
       large file support and on Windows.  pcap_dump_ftell64() returns the
       current file position in a int64_t, so if file offsets that don't fit
       in a long but that fit in a int64_t are supported, this will return
       the file offset without truncation.  PCAP_ERROR is returned on error.
