Hello,

  I'm using tap interface. During packet callback I create per packet
structure. I use this structure during draw callback.
  My question is when I can release this structure? I mean when I can be
sure it will not be used any more - after call of draw last time?

  Documentation (doc/README.tapping) says that draw callback can be
called multiple times during capture processing (e.g. for Qt it is
called every 2-3 seconds). Therefore I can't release such structure
during call of draw.
  Documentation says that reset callback is called only when capture is
reread.
  Therefore I can't find a place/callback which is called once per
capture analysis and after the last packet in capture.

  What is correct way to recognize that capture processing with tap was
finished?
