Limit on merged file

[AfakTolgi]

There can also be a limit of number of packets that can be merged or limit on size of merged file i.e merged file should not be greater then specified limit

[assafmo]

What do you mean, that you want to add a feature to limit the number of files and the number of packets per file?

[AfakTolgi]

By limit i mean eg: file1.pcap -> 5 packets file2.pcap -> 5 packets joincap file1.pcap file2.pcap -o merged.pcap -limit 7 merged.pcap should have 7 packets instead of 10 packets

[assafmo]

I think this should work:

joincap -w - file1.pcap file2.pcap | editcap -r /dev/stdin out.pcap 1-7

[AfakTolgi]

I was thinking of something inbuilt in joincap
