Capturing packets content using libpcap

Hi everybody,Currently I'm using libpcap to develop a sniffing tool. I've read some tutorials and I can get the packet header, is it possible to capture the plain-text content using libpcap also ? ( like http request content ... ) I've tried to search on Google, looked at the documentation of tcpdump and wireshark but found nothing.
One thing I found from google is that libpcap only captures 2% packets of network, i'm wondering how can wireshark and tcpdump capture everything while they're still using lipbcap.
