NAME

       pcap_snapshot - get the snapshot length

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_snapshot(pcap_t *p);

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_snapshot() returns the snapshot length specified when
       pcap_set_snaplen(3PCAP) or pcap_open_live(3PCAP) was called, for
       a live capture, or the snapshot length from the capture file, for
       a ``savefile''.

       It must not be called on a pcap descriptor created by
       pcap_create(3PCAP) that has not yet been activated by
       pcap_activate(3PCAP).

RETURN VALUE

       pcap_snapshot() returns the snapshot length on success and
       PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED if called on a capture handle that has
       been created but not activated.
