Title: How to convert one file to libpcap file format?

Hi,
(1) I need to convert one  binary log file to libpcap file format, so that I can use Ethereal to open this file and analyze the raw data in my log file.

How to convert binary log file to libpcap file format?
I build Ethereal executable for  Ethereal source code. Is there any function which can be used to convert any file to
libpcap file format?
(2) When I caputure the packet using Ethereal, which function in Ethereal source code is used to save the file in libpcap format?

(3) Where can I get the information or documentation for the libpcap file format (e.g. content of the  header, payload, ...)?

Thanks a lot for help.
