joincap

Skips corrupt packets and files instead of failing, ensuring merge jobs complete successfully even with malformed inputs, as demonstrated in the detailed error handling table.

Handles gzipped pcaps (.pcap.gz), empty files, directories, and truncated data directly, without requiring pre-processing steps like decompression.

Eliminates the need for external tools like pcapfix by internal error handling, simplifying workflows and reducing resource usage.

Offers a clean command-line interface with options for output file, size limits, and timestamp precision, making it easy to integrate into scripts.

Benchmarks show merging speeds comparable to mergecap and tcpslice, with high throughput for large files, as noted in the performance comparison.
