Detailed Description

The base class for all filter classes. This class is virtual and abstract, hence cannot be instantiated.
For deeper understanding of the filter concept please refer to PcapFilter.h

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~GeneralFilter()

virtual pcpp::GeneralFilter::~GeneralFilter ( )
inlinevirtual

Virtual destructor, frees the bpf program

Member Function Documentation

◆ matchPacketWithFilter()

bool pcpp::GeneralFilter::matchPacketWithFilter ( RawPacket rawPacket)

Match a raw packet with a given BPF filter.

Parameters
[in]rawPacketA pointer to the raw packet to match the BPF filter with
Returns
True if a raw packet matches the BPF filter or false otherwise

◆ parseToString()

virtual void pcpp::GeneralFilter::parseToString ( std::string &  result)
pure virtual

A method that parses the class instance into BPF string format

Parameters
[out]resultAn empty string that the parsing will be written into. If the string isn't empty, its content will be overridden
Returns
No return value
