[Winpcap-users] only when ethereal is ON

[Umesh Chandra Sahoo]

Hi Gianluca,
Thanks for your reply. 
Can you tell me who releases that pointer?
Is that the programmer's responsibility or is that released by the
winpcap library itself?

Can I get any sample code or documentation to test this.

Regards,
Umesh

Hi,

the pointers returned by pcap_next_ex must NOT be released, and they are

valid until
- the next call to pcap_next_ex/pcap_loop/pcap_dispatch
- you close the capture instance of pcap_close

(whatever happens first)

Have a nice day
GV
