PCAP_MAJOR_VERSION(3)                                    PCAP_MAJOR_VERSION(3)

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
       pcap-NG).

       If  p  refers to a live capture, the values returned by pcap_major_ver-
       sion() and pcap_minor_version() are not meaningful.
