[Winpcap-bugs] Documentation: no description of pcap_fopen_offline()

The WinPcap 4.1.1 documentation of pcap_open_offline()<http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcapfunc.html#g91078168a13de8848df2b7b83d1f5b69> function mentions the pcap_fopen_offline()  function, which description is missing. Also the WinPcap 4.1.1 announcement email mentions function pcap_hopen_offline(), which if I understand correctly from reading archives, can be used on Windows systems instead of pcap_fopen_offline(). It would be useful if the WinPcap documentation clarifies this point.

Also, a minor point on inconsistency in the documentation examples in section "Handling offline dump files"<http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcap__tut7.html>. The example "Reading packets from a dump file" describes that the file will be opened with the pcap_open_offline() method, but the example source code uses method pcap_open().
