Inheritance diagram for CaptureFile:

Public Slots
void	retapPackets ()
	Retap the capture file. Convenience wrapper for cf_retap_packets. Application events are processed periodically via update_progress_dlg.
void	delayedRetapPackets ()
	Retap the capture file after the current batch of application events is processed. If you call this instead of retapPackets or cf_retap_packets in a dialog's constructor it will be displayed before tapping starts.
void	stopLoading ()
	Cancel any tapping that might be in progress.
void	setCaptureStopFlag (bool stop_flag=true)
	Sets the capture file's "stop_flag" member.

Signals
void	captureEvent (CaptureEvent event)
	Signal emitted when a capture-related event occurs.

Public Member Functions
	CaptureFile (QObject *parent=0, capture_file *cap_file=NULL)
	Constructs a new CaptureFile object.
	~CaptureFile ()
	Destroys the CaptureFile.
capture_file *	capFile () const
	Retrieves the underlying capture_file pointer if valid.
void	setCapFile (capture_file *cap_file)
	Sets the underlying capture_file pointer.
bool	isValid () const
	Check capture file validity.
const QString	filePath ()
	Return the full pathname.
const QString	fileName ()
	Return the plain filename.
const QString	fileBaseName ()
	Return the plain filename without an extension.
const QString	fileDisplayName ()
	Return a string representing the file suitable for use for display in the UI in places such as a main window title.
const QString	fileTitle ()
	Return a string representing the file suitable for use in an auxiliary window title.
struct _packet_info *	packetInfo ()
	Return the current packet information.
int	timestampPrecision ()
	Timestamp precision for the current file.
void	reload ()
	Reload the capture file.
QString	displayFilter () const
	Return any set display filter.
void *	window ()
	Retrieves the main window associated with this capture file.

Static Public Member Functions
static capture_file *	globalCapFile ()
	Retrieves the global capture_file instance.

Detailed Description

Manages a capture file and its associated state and operations.

This class serves as a Qt-friendly wrapper around the underlying core capture_file struct, handling file validity, paths, events, and tapping operations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CaptureFile()

CaptureFile::CaptureFile ( QObject *  parent = 0, capture_file *  cap_file = NULL  )

explicit

Constructs a new CaptureFile object.

Parameters

parent	The parent QObject, defaults to 0.
cap_file	Pointer to the underlying capture_file structure, defaults to NULL.

Member Function Documentation

capFile()

capture_file * CaptureFile::capFile ( ) const

inline

Retrieves the underlying capture_file pointer if valid.

Returns

Pointer to the capture_file, or NULL if invalid.

captureEvent

void CaptureFile::captureEvent ( CaptureEvent  event )

signal

Signal emitted when a capture-related event occurs.

Parameters

event

The capture event details.

displayFilter()

QString CaptureFile::displayFilter

(

)

const

Return any set display filter.

Returns

The current display filter string.

fileBaseName()

const QString CaptureFile::fileBaseName

(

)

Return the plain filename without an extension.

Returns

The last component of the pathname, without the extension, converted from the native OS's encoding to Unicode if necessary, or a null string if the conversion can't be done.

fileDisplayName()

const QString CaptureFile::fileDisplayName

(

)

Return a string representing the file suitable for use for display in the UI in places such as a main window title.

Returns

One of:

the devices on which the capture was done, if the file is a temporary file for a capture;

the last component of the capture file's name, converted from the native OS's encoding to Unicode if necessary (and with REPLACEMENT CHARACTER inserted if the string can't be converted).

a null string, if there is no capture file.

fileName()

const QString CaptureFile::fileName

(

)

Return the plain filename.

Returns

The last component of the pathname, including the extension, converted from the native OS's encoding to Unicode if necessary, or a null string if the conversion can't be done.

filePath()

const QString CaptureFile::filePath

(

)

Return the full pathname.

Returns

The entire pathname, converted from the native OS's encoding to Unicode if necessary, or a null string if the conversion can't be done.

fileTitle()

const QString CaptureFile::fileTitle

(

)

Return a string representing the file suitable for use in an auxiliary window title.

Returns

One of:

the result of fileDisplayName(), if the file is open;

the result of fileDisplayName() followed by [closing], if the file is being closed;

the result of fileDisplayName() followed by [closed], if the file has been closed;

[no capture file], if there is no capture file.

globalCapFile()

capture_file * CaptureFile::globalCapFile ( )

static

Retrieves the global capture_file instance.

Returns

Pointer to the global capture_file.

isValid()

bool CaptureFile::isValid

(

)

const

Check capture file validity.

Returns

true if the file is open, readable, and tappable. false if the file is closed.

packetInfo()

struct _packet_info * CaptureFile::packetInfo

(

)

Return the current packet information.

Returns

A pointer to the current packet_info struct or NULL.

setCapFile()

void CaptureFile::setCapFile ( capture_file *  cap_file )

inline

Sets the underlying capture_file pointer.

Parameters

cap_file

The new capture_file pointer.

setCaptureStopFlag

void CaptureFile::setCaptureStopFlag ( bool  stop_flag = true )

slot

Sets the capture file's "stop_flag" member.

Parameters

stop_flag

If true, stops the current capture file operation.

timestampPrecision()

int CaptureFile::timestampPrecision

(

)

Timestamp precision for the current file.

Returns

One of the WTAP_TSPREC_x values defined in wiretap/wtap.h, or WTAP_TSPREC_UNKNOWN if no file is open.

window()

void * CaptureFile::window

(

)

Retrieves the main window associated with this capture file.

Returns

Pointer to the window.
