What's a ".dmp" file?

If that's the file format that Ethereal/Wireshark reads and writes by 
default (for which there's no "official" standard suffix - it originated 
on UN*X, in the command-line tcpdump program, so there wasn't a standard 
suffix assigned to it), then the best way to describe the format is "the 
format supported by the libpcap/WinPcap library".

The best way to read it is not to write your own code to understand the 
format, the best way to read it is to use libpcap/WinPcap to read it; it 
means you write less code (you don't have to write code to understand 
the file format), and the code you do write will continue to work with 
pcap-ng files when that's supported by libpcap/WinPcap and Wireshark.

If you're using UN*X, try "man pcap" or see

If you're using Windows, see
