Hi,

I am looking for some information on how Wireshark uses libpcap to capture
the packets and dissects it i.e, the complete process from
packet capture from the network to displaying to the user. I searched for
such a resource for some time now but couldnt find one. If some one knows of
such a
material could you pls provide me the link.

Thanks,
Vijay

Here is an overview from the developer's manual:

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChWorksOverview.html

For more details, review the developer's guide, doc/README.developer in 
the source code and most importantly, the source code itself.
