I have this two structs:
struct pcap_hdr_s {
UInt32 magic_number;
UInt16 version_major;
UInt16 version_minor;
int32_t thiszone;
UInt32 sigfigs;
UInt32 snaplen;
UInt32 network;
};
//packet header
struct pcaprec_hdr_s {
UInt32 ts_sec;
UInt32 ts_usec;
UInt32 incl_len;
UInt32 orig_len;
};
which are initialised as follows(for example):
let pcapHeader : pcap_hdr_s = pcap_hdr_s(magic_number: 0xa1b2c3d4,
version_major: 2,
version_minor: 4,
thiszone: 0,
sigfigs: 0,
snaplen:
pcap_record_size,
network: LINKTYPE_ETHERNET)
let pcapRecHeader : pcaprec_hdr_s = pcaprec_hdr_s(ts_sec: UInt32(ts.tv_sec),
ts_usec: UInt32(ts.tv_nsec),
incl_len: plen,
orig_len: length)
I tried to create Data/NSData objects of the structs like this:
//write pcap header
let pcapHeaderData : NSData = NSData(bytes: pcapHeader, length: sizeofValue(pcapHeader))
//write pcaprec header
let pcapRecHeaderData : NSData = NSData(bytes: pcapRecHeader, length: sizeofValue(pcapRecHeader))
but I always get this error for each line:
"Connot convert value if type 'pcap_hdr_s' to expected arguemnt type 'UsafeRawPointer?'"
I had a look at the documentation of UnsafeRawPointers in Swift, but I don't get it enough as for now, to create the NSData object from the structs. Am I on the right way or is there a better one to accomplish my intend?
If this Data initialisation would work, my next steps would be
- Append pcapRecHeaderData to pcapHeaderData
- write pcapHeaderData atomically to file/url with the provided function of Data/NSData
EDIT:
//packet ethernet header
struct ethernet_hdr_s {
let dhost : [UInt8]
let shost : [UInt8]
let type : UInt16
};
let src_mac : [UInt8] = [0x66, 0x77, 0x88, 0x99, 0xAA, 0xBB]
let dest_mac : [UInt8] = [0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55]
let ethernetHeader : ethernet_hdr_s = ethernet_hdr_s(dhost: dest_mac, shost: src_mac, type: 0x0800)
EDIT 2:
let payloadSize = packet.payload.count
let plen = (payloadSize < Int(pcap_record_size) ? payloadSize : Int(pcap_record_size));
bytesWritten = withUnsafePointer(to: &(packet.payload)) {
$0.withMemoryRebound(to: UInt8.self, capacity: Int(plen)) {
ostream.write($0, maxLength: Int(plen))
}
}
if bytesWritten != (Int(plen)) {
// Could not write all bytes, report error ...
NSLog("error in Writting packet payload, not all Bytes written: bytesWritten: %d|plen: %d", bytesWritten, Int(plen))
}
