Hello all. Whilst working on some recent improvements in libpcap, I often had to cross-reference the source code with the 1993 BPF specification, which still seems to be the most detailed definition of the ISA. The matter is, there are various discrepancies between the spec and the code, and not every discrepancy is a bug, and it became unwieldy to keep notes of what is what, so eventually I decided to make a new resource to bridge the 1993 specification and the current implementations: https://www.tcpdump.org/bpfisa.html If you think anything is incorrect or missing, let me know. -- Denis Ovsienko _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list -- tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org To unsubscribe send an email to tcpdump-workers-leave () lists tcpdump org %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s
