Yes exactly each packet is an event. The layout of the event is

aligned this format with the ETL (serialization use by microsoft) which is not well documented.

Is it documented at all?

The description of a given LINKTYPE_/DLT_ value on

        https://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html

and the pages linked to by that description must be sufficient to allow somebody to write code to, at minimum, parse 
the link-layer headers, without ever looking at Wireshark or tcpdump code.
