need to read pcaps to develop a display system for the packets

[prashanth s <prbanglore () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I need to develop an application that reads a pcap as input and then diplays
the packet contents in a style that should make it easy for the reader to
understand - perhaps in the way wireshark does it. I have just come to know
that libcap library is used by the applications to capture packets and then
to display them.
Could any one please suggest me pointers on this to start work with? Which
would be better? Using C, C++ for the display mechanisms or using python?

Regards,
Prashanth
