pcap_close(3)                                            pcap_close(3)


NAME

       pcap_close - close a capture device or savefile


SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       pcap_close(3) *p);


DESCRIPTION

       pcap_close() closes the files associated with p and deallocates
       resources. This means that, for example, if p refers to a savefile that
       was opened with pcap_fopen_offline() or
       pcap_fopen_offline_with_tstamp_precision(), the stream provided to the
       routine will be closed unless it is stdin.


SEE ALSO

       pcap(3), pcap_open_offline(3)
