Re: [libpcap][patch] appending to a capture

[rixed () happyleptic org]

In defense of the OP, I must say I like the idea of a
pcap_dump_append().

Your arguments against it are a lot more valid with regard to the
tcpdump tool, for which an "--append" parameter seams dubious, than for
the libpcap itself which can be used by many different programs for many
different purposes, and editcap may not be an option here.

I fail to imagine any performance problems. Any examples please?
