pcap_major_version, pcap_minor_version - get the version number of a savefile

  #include <pcap/pcap.h>
  int pcap_major_version(pcap_t *p);
  int pcap_minor_version(pcap_t *p);

If p refers to a ``savefile’’, *pcap_major_version*() returns the major number of the file format of the ``savefile’’ and *pcap_minor_version*() returns the minor number of the file format of the ``savefile’’. The version number is stored in the ``savefile’’; note that the meaning of its values depends on the type of ``savefile’’ (for example, pcap or pcapng).

If p refers to a live capture, the values returned by *pcap_major_version*() and *pcap_minor_version*() are not meaningful.
