# pcap_stat Struct Reference
[Definitions]

Structure that keeps statistical values on an interface. More...

`#include <pcap.h>`

## Data Fields
u_int | ps_recv
| number of packets transited on the network
u_int | ps_drop
| number of packets dropped by the driver
u_int | ps_ifdrop
| drops by interface, not yet supported
u_int | bs_capt
| Win32 specific. number of packets captured, i.e number of packets that are accepted by the filter, that find place in the kernel buffer and therefore that actually reach the application. For backward compatibility, pcap_stats() does not fill this member, so use pcap_stats_ex() to get it.

## Detailed Description

Structure that keeps statistical values on an interface.

As returned by the pcap_stats()
