## Field Documentation

UINT bh_caplen

| Length of captured portion. The captured portion can be different from the original packet, because it is possible (with a proper filter) to instruct the driver to capture only a portion of the packets. Definition at line 156 of file Packet32.h. Referenced by NPF_Read(), NPF_tap(), NPF_TransferDataComplete(), and PrintPackets().

UINT bh_datalen

| Original length of packet. Definition at line 159 of file Packet32.h. Referenced by NPF_Read(), NPF_tap(), and PrintPackets().

USHORT bh_hdrlen

| Length of bpf header (this struct plus alignment padding). In some cases, a padding could be added between the end of this structure and the packet data for performance reasons. This filed can be used to retrieve the actual data of the packet. Definition at line 160 of file Packet32.h. Referenced by NPF_Read(), NPF_tap(), and PrintPackets().

struct timeval bh_tstamp

| The timestamp associated with the captured packet. It is stored in a TimeVal structure. Definition at line 154 of file Packet32.h. Referenced by NPF_Read(), NPF_tap(), and NPF_TransferDataComplete().
