Detailed Description

template<typename PDUType, typename TimestampType>
class Tins::PacketWrapper< PDUType, TimestampType >

Represents a sniffed packet.

RefPackets contain a PDU reference and a timestamp. The difference between this class and the Packet class is that this one contains a reference to a PDU, and not a pointer to one.

This class is only used in some BaseSniffer methods as a thin wrapper to a PDU pointer/reference. Only BaseSniffer and derived objects can create instances of it.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename PDUType , typename TimestampType >

Tins::PacketWrapper< PDUType, TimestampType >::operator pdu_type ( )

inline

User defined conversion to wrapped_type.

This conversion is defined so that BaseSniffer::sniff_loop callback or code that calls BaseSniffer::next_packet can still receive a PDU pointer/reference without modifying the code at all.

template<typename PDUType , typename TimestampType >

const Timestamp& Tins::PacketWrapper< PDUType, TimestampType >::timestamp ( ) const

inline

Returns the packet timestamp.

This is the timestamp in which the packet was taken out of the network interface/pcap file.
