SYNOPSIS

use AnyEvent::Pcap;

my $a_pcap;
$a_pcap = AnyEvent::Pcap->new(
    device         => "eth0",
    filter         => "tcp port 80",
    timeout        => 1000,
    packet_handler => sub {
        my $io     = pop;
        while (@_) {
            my $header = shift;
            my $packet = shift;

            # you can use utils to get an NetPacket::TCP object.
            my $tcp = $a_pcap->utils->extract_tcp_packet($packet);

            # or ...
            $tcp = AnyEvent::Pcap::Utils->extract_tcp_packet($packet); 

            # do something....
        }
    }
);

$a_pcap->run();

AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

DESCRIPTION

AnyEvent::Pcap is a Net::Pcap wrapper on top of AnyEvent.

Also you can use its utils to get NetPacket::IP or NetPacket::TCP object.

METHODS

new([%args]);
my %args = (

    # Default device is selected with Net::Pcap::pcap_lookupdev()
    device => "eth0",

    # It also could be "file:/path/to/file" to load a saved dump
    device => "file:samples/ping-ietf-20pk-le.dmp",

    # Default filter is NULL
    filter => "tcp port 80",

    # How much milliseconds to wait before flushing pcap buffer
    # Default is 0 (unlimited)
    timeout => 1000,

    # Reference to your callback
    packet_handler => sub {
        # The last item is AE::io handler
        my $io     = pop;

        # Other items are pairs of ($header, $packet)
        while (@_) {
            my $header = shift;
            my $packet = shift;
            ...
        }
    }
);

my $a_pcap = AnyEvent::Pcap->new(%args);

Create and return new AnyEvent::Pcap object.

utils()
my $a_pcap = AnyEvent::Pcap->new;
my $utils  = $a_pcap->utils;
  

You can get a utilty for packet handling. See AnyEvent::Pcap::Utils.

run()
my $a_pcap = AnyEvent::Pcap->new(%args);
$a_pcap->run;

AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

Running AnyEvent loop.
