libnfdump - library to natively access netflow records stored by nfcapd

The program nfreader of nfdump-1.6.2 has been mutated to a library. The goal is to access directly from external programs to the master_record_t structure without having to pass through standard output and standard input or other temporary files.

nfdump-1.6.2$ ./configure --enable-libnfdump

nfdump-1.6.2$ make

nfdump-1.6.2$ make install

nfdump-1.6.2/bin/testlibnfdump <full_path_to_library> <nfcapd_file>

libnfstates_t* initlib(char* Mdirs, char* rfile, char* Rfile);

master_record_t* get_next_record(libnfstates_t* states);

void libcleanup(libnfstates_t* states);

The initlib functions returns a structure of states of an instance of libnfdump. On errors NULL is returned. The function get_next_record returns the next encountered record. If there are no records NULL is returned.

More details can be found in the libnfdump wiki or in the man page of libnfdump. https://github.com/haegardev/libnfdump/wiki
