Difference between wiretap, winpcap and libpcap

[Vishnu Bhatt <vishnu.bhatt () aricent com>]

Hello,

Can somebody explain to me the exact difference between the above three? I read in the doc that wiretap is used to read 
.pcap or any other extn file and winpcap and libpcap are libraries used to capture packets in wireshark.

Thanks
Vishnu Bhatt
