Capture statistics

Getting statistics about packets received and dropped in a live capture.

public static void main(String[] _args)
    throws ErrorException, PermissionDeniedException, PromiscuousModePermissionDeniedException,
        TimestampPrecisionNotSupportedException, RadioFrequencyModeNotSupportedException,
        NoSuchDeviceException, ActivatedException, InterfaceNotUpException,
        InterfaceNotSupportTimestampTypeException {
  var service = Service.Creator.create("PcapService");
  try (var pcap = service.live(service.interfaces(), new DefaultLiveOptions())) {
    PacketHeader header = pcap.allocate(PacketHeader.class);
    PacketBuffer buffer = pcap.allocate(PacketBuffer.class);
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      try {
        pcap.nextEx(header, buffer);
        System.out.println("Header   : " + header);
        System.out.println("Packet   : " + buffer);
        val stats = pcap.stats();
        System.out.println("Stats    : " + stats);
      } catch (BreakException e) {
        System.err.println(e.getMessage());
      } catch (TimeoutException e) {
        System.err.println(e.getMessage());
      }
    }
  }
}
