<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Rawshark</strong> reads a stream of packets from a file or pipe, and prints a line
describing its output, followed by a set of matching fields for each packet
on stdout.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_input">INPUT</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Unlike <strong>TShark</strong>, <strong>Rawshark</strong> makes no assumptions about encapsulation or
input. The <strong>-d</strong> and <strong>-r</strong> flags must be specified in order for it to run.
One or more <strong>-F</strong> flags should be specified in order for the output to be
useful. The other flags listed above follow the same conventions as
<strong>Wireshark</strong> and <strong>TShark</strong>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Rawshark</strong> expects input records with the following format by default. This
matches the format of the packet header and packet data in a pcap-formatted
file on disk.</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>struct rawshark_rec_s {
uint32_t ts_sec; /* Time stamp (seconds) */
uint32_t ts_usec; /* Time stamp (microseconds) */
uint32_t caplen; /* Length of the packet buffer */
uint32_t len; /* "On the wire" length of the packet */
uint8_t data[caplen]; /* Packet data */
};</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If <strong>-p</strong> is supplied <strong>rawshark</strong> expects the following format. This
matches the <em>struct pcap_pkthdr</em> structure and packet data used in
libpcap, Npcap, or WinPcap. This structure’s format is platform-dependent; the
size of the <em>tv_sec</em> field in the <em>struct timeval</em> structure could be
32 bits or 64 bits. For <strong>rawshark</strong> to work, the layout of the
structure in the input must match the layout of the structure in
<strong>rawshark</strong>. Note that this format will probably be the same as the
previous format if <strong>rawshark</strong> is a 32-bit program, but will not
necessarily be the same if <strong>rawshark</strong> is a 64-bit program.</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>struct rawshark_rec_s {
struct timeval ts; /* Time stamp */
uint32_t caplen; /* Length of the packet buffer */
uint32_t len; /* "On the wire" length of the packet */
uint8_t data[caplen]; /* Packet data */
};</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In either case, the endianness (byte ordering) of each integer must match the
system on which <strong>rawshark</strong> is running.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_output">OUTPUT</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If one or more fields are specified via the <strong>-F</strong> flag, <strong>Rawshark</strong> prints
the number, field type, and display format for each field on the first line
as "packet number" 0. For each record, the packet number, matching fields,
and a "1" or "0" are printed to indicate if the field matched any supplied
display filter. A "-" is used to signal the end of a field description and
at the end of each packet line. For example, the flags <strong>-F ip.src -F
dns.qry.type</strong> might generate the following output:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>0 FT_IPv4 BASE_NONE - 1 FT_UINT16 BASE_HEX -
1 1="1" 0="192.168.77.10" 1 -
2 1="1" 0="192.168.77.250" 1 -
3 0="192.168.77.10" 1 -
4 0="74.125.19.104" 1 -</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that packets 1 and 2 are DNS queries, and 3 and 4 are not. Adding <strong>-R "not dns"</strong> still prints each line, but there’s an indication
that packets 1 and 2 didn’t pass the filter:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>0 FT_IPv4 BASE_NONE - 1 FT_UINT16 BASE_HEX -
1 1="1" 0="192.168.77.10" 0 -

4 0="74.125.19.104" 1 -</pre>

fields might be displayed.</p>

normally used when piping a live capture to a program or script, so that

<p>The <em>ipxnets</em> files are used to correlate 4-byte IPX network numbers to
names. First the global <em>ipxnets</em> file is tried and if that address is not
found there the personal one is tried next.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The format is the same as the <em>ethers</em>
file, except that each address is four bytes instead of six.
Additionally, the address can be represented as a single hexadecimal
number, as is more common in the IPX world, rather than four hex octets.
For example, these four lines are valid lines of an <em>ipxnets</em> file:</p>
