Wiretap is the name of the library that Ethereal uses to read and write
capture files; it's (currently) an Ethereal internal library (one could,
I guess, use it in other programs, as long as one bears in mind that the
API isn't necessarily cast in concrete yet, and may change if Ethereal
requires a feature from it that requires an API change - Ethereal would
change to use the changed API, but you'd have to change your program
yourself...).
