pcap_dumper object is a wrapper for the type `pcap_dumper_t' defined in PCAP library. Its methods are all PCAP library functions with prototype `type pcap_func(pcap_dumper_t *,...)'. Method names are functions names without `pcap_' prefix.

Note: pcap_dumper object cannot be created directly. The only way to create such object is to use the `dump_open()' method of a pcap object instance.
