NAME
pcap_major_version, pcap_minor_version - get the version number of a
savefile
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_major_version(pcap_t *p);
int pcap_minor_version(pcap_t *p);
DESCRIPTION
If p refers to a ``savefile'', pcap_major_version() returns the major
number of the file format of the ``savefile'' and pcap_minor_version()
returns the minor number of the file format of the ``savefile''. The
version number is stored in the ``savefile''; note that the meaning of
its values depends on the type of ``savefile'' (for example, pcap or
pcapng).
If p refers to a live capture, the values returned by pcap_major_ver-
sion() and pcap_minor_version() are not meaningful.
