Does Wireshark have an API?

Hi everyone,

I am a MSc. student, and I want to use Wireshark to analyze packets and import this result to Java. Anyone know whether Wireshark has an API?

You have these options:

  1. run tshark (possibly with option -V) and then parse the text output with Java

  2. If you want to use Java anyway, use one of these PCAP Java libraries/bindings:
