Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] test: add pcapng test for copy before open
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:25:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224152726.567604-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224152726.567604-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
If packets are copied before open is called, the timestamps
will be before the start of epoch. Add a test for this which
makes sure pcapng file is still valid.
