42 @mainpage Wireshark EPAN the packet analyzing engine. Source code can be found in the epan directory
53 Ethereal Packet ANalyzer (XXX - is this correct?) the packet analyzing engine. Source code can be found in the epan directory.
55 Protocol-Tree - Keep data of the capture file protocol information.
57 Dissectors - The various protocol dissectors in epan/dissectors.
59 Plugins - Some of the protocol dissectors are implemented as plugins. Source code can be found at plugins.

68 This document describes the data structures and the functions exported by the CACE Technologies AirPcap library.
69 The AirPcap library provides low-level access to the AirPcap driver including advanced capabilities such as channel setting,
70 link type control and WEP configuration.<br>
71 This manual includes the following sections:
73 \note throughout this documentation, \e device refers to a physical USB AirPcap device, while \e adapter is an open API
74 instance. Most of the AirPcap API operations are adapter-specific but some of them, like setting the channel, are
75 per-device and will be reflected on all the open adapters. These functions will have "Device" in their name, e.g.
76 AirpcapSetDeviceChannel().
