Source: iftop Version: 1.0~pre4-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I'm using iftop with my own libpcap extension which has a 0mq socket underneath. To exit gracefully, I need to go through pcap_close to clean up, hence the below patch. On exit, call pcap_close() so that any resources used internally by libpcap can be cleaned up. Note this has already been submitted upstream. http://lists.beasts.org/pipermail/iftop-users/2016-September/000455.html I'd love to have it in stretch if possible.
