into a Pcapng file.
The format conforms to the current `Pcapng RFC`_ standard.
It is designed to be integrated with the packet capture library.
Usage
-----
-Before the library can be used, the function ``rte_pcapng_init``
-should be called once to initialize timestamp computation.
-
The output stream is created with ``rte_pcapng_fdopen``,
and should be closed with ``rte_pcapng_close``.
