pcap_dump() problem

[styve]

Hello! Im using libpcap for linux. I have a problem with the command pcap_dump(u_char *user, struct pcap_pkthdr *h, u_char *sp). The first argument will be the result from pcap_dump_open() (the file I will write to), but the problem is that it's not a u_char result from pcap_dump_open, it is a pcap_dumper_t. Is there a command for conversion from pcap_dumper_t to u_char? In the tutorial the first argument can be a pcap_dumper_t value, but it will not work. Thankful for your help, Stefan

<snip> node_t *n; pcap_t *cap; n->dumper = pcap_dump_open(cap, n->filename); pcap_dump((u_char *)n->dumper, &n->fifo_phd[i], n->fifo_pkt[i]); </snip> found this in http://www.cartel-securite.fr/pbiondi/c/pcapdispatcher.c[^] hth, 'G'

It was to simple to understand in the beginning, you always will do the hard way =) just put pcap_dump((u_char*)outFile, header, packet)
