netflow tools - Oct 2005 - python FlowLog.start_time

Hi,

I''m trying to port my python software to the new flowd SNAP-20051003.

In the 0.8.5 release, the python module had a class log, now renamed to 
FlowLog. The log class had a start_time function, that would give me the 
start time (suprise) when the flowfile was created.

Is it possible to get this function back, or should the starttime be 
determined in an other way?


thanks,

gijs

I removed this because it is almost redundant: the start time is roughly
equal to the recv_time of the first flow in the file. Not having a start
of file header makes quite a few other things simpler, e.g. you can 
now join flow logs with "cat".
