Hi,

I was looking at using wiretap to write a small program that would read a
capture file and filter out frames I don't want.

I could not find a wtap_open routine ... Does such a thing exist?

I could fine wtap_read and wtap_close, but not the open.

I had envisioned (have to remember not to write envisage for USians ;-)
that I would do something like:

  get file name of command line
  wth = wtap_open(file);
  while (wtap_read(buff)) {

   if user wants this frame
     write it out
  }
  wtap close ...


Regards
