How to check if flag in TCP struct is set?

问题:

I'm using the pcap C library to read packets. Currently, I use the following to check and see whether a flag in the struct tcphdr (this struct is defined in the netinet/tcp.h library) is set:

struct tcphdr *tcp = ....

if(tcp->th_flags & TH_SYN) {
        //SYN FLAG IS SET?
    }

Will this always work for checking if a particular flag is set in the struct? Or is there a better way? Would greatly appreciate any advice/tips :)

回答1:

That looks fine to me. TH_SYN is a single bit, so that expression will be true (nonzero) if that bit is set in th_flags.
