NAME

       Net::Frame::Dump::Offline - tcpdump like implementation, offline mode

SYNOPSIS

          use Net::Frame::Dump::Offline;

          #
          # Simple offline anaysis
          #
          my $oDump = Net::Frame::Dump::Offline->new(file => $file);

          $oDump->start;

          my $count = 0;
          while (my $h = $oDump->next) {
             my $f = Net::Frame::Simple->new(
                raw        => $h->{raw},
                firstLayer => $h->{firstLayer},
                timestamp  => $h->{timestamp},
             );
             my $len = length($h->{raw});
             print 'o Frame number: '.$count++." (length: $len)\n";
             print $f->print."\n";
          }

          $oDump->stop;

          #
          # Default parameters on creation
          #
          my $oDumpDefault = Net::Frame::Dump::Offline->new(
             file          => "netframe-tmp-$$.$int.pcap",
             filter        => '',
             isRunning     => 0,
             keepTimestamp => 0,
          );

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a tcpdump-like program, for offline analysis.

ATTRIBUTES

       The following are inherited attributes:

       file
           Name of the .pcap file to read.

       filter
           Pcap filter to use. Default to no filter.

       firstLayer
           Stores information about the first layer type contained on read frame. This attribute
           is filled only after a call to start method.

       isRunning
           Returns true if a call to start has been done, false otherwise or if a call to stop
           has been done.

       keepTimestamp
           Sometimes, when frames are captured and saved to a .pcap file, timestamps sucks. That
           is, you send a frame, and receive the reply, but your request appear to have been sent
           after the reply. So, to correct that, you can use Net::Frame::Dump own timestamping
           system. The default is 0. Set it manually to 1 if you need original .pcap frames
           timestamps.

METHODS

       new
       new (hash)
           Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. See
           SYNOPSIS for default values.

       start
           When you want to start reading frames from the file, call this method.

       stop
           When you want to stop reading frames from the file, call this method.

       next
           Returns the next captured frame; undef if no more frames are awaiting.

       store (Net::Frame::Simple object)
           This method will store internally, sorted, the Net::Frame::Simple object passed as a
           single parameter. getKey methods, implemented in various Net::Frame::Layer objects
           will be used to efficiently retrieve (via getKeyReverse method) frames.

           Basically, it is used to make recv method (from Net::Frame::Simple) to retrieve
           quickly the reply frame for a request frame.

       getFramesFor
           This will return an array of possible reply frames for the specified
           Net::Frame::Simple object. For example, reply frames for a UDP probe will be all the
           frames which have the same source port and destination port as the request.

       flush
           Will flush stored frames, the one which have been stored via store method.
