NAME

       Net::Frame::Dump::Writer - tcpdump like implementation, writer mode

SYNOPSIS

          use Net::Frame::Dump::Writer;

          my $oDump = Net::Frame::Dump::Writer->new(
             file       => 'new-file.pcap',
             firstLayer => 'ETH',
          );

          $oDump->start;

          $oDump->write({ timestamp => '10.10', raw => ('A' x 14) });

          $oDump->stop;

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a pcap file builder. You will be able to create frames, then write them in the
       pcap file format to a file.

ATTRIBUTES

       The following are inherited attributes:

       file
           Name of the .pcap file to generate.

       overwrite
           Overwrites a .pcap file that already exists. Default to not.

       append
           Append new frames to an existing pcap file. Create it if does not exists yet.

       firstLayer
           Stores information about the first layer type. It is used to write .pcap file header information.

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

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 writing frames to the file, call this method.

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

       write ({ timestamp => $value, raw => $rawFrame })
           Takes a hashref as a parameter. This hashref MUST have timestamp and raw keys, with values. The raw
           data will be stored to the .pcap file.
