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.
