Because each captured frame can be a different length, normally you would have to skip all the preceding frames to get the timestamp of the last record.
However, a heuristic approach might be to read the header to get the capture-length, and then read that much from the end of the file and look for an appropriate record header ...
On the other hand, I am unaware of any code that does that.
