PCAP_DUMP_CLOSE(3)

PCAP_DUMP_CLOSE(3) 🎀✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual — this is literally the pcap_dump_close page 💅 it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "clean up your savefile era" 🧚

NAME

pcap_dump_close — close a savefile being written to 🫶

SYNOPSIS

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

void pcap_dump_close(pcap_dumper_t *p);

DESCRIPTION

okay so pcap_dump_close() closes the “savefile” associated with p and deallocates resources 💖 that's the whole vibe.

like, for example: if p refers to a savefile that was opened with pcap_dump_fopen(), then the stream provided to that routine will be closed — unless it is stdout 👀 periodt.

bestie note: stdout is the exception here — it stays open 🌸
