What is the best way to write a struct to file?

I have this two structs:

struct pcap_hdr_s {
    UInt32 magic_number;
    UInt16 version_major;
    UInt16 version_minor;
    int32_t thiszone;
    UInt32 sigfigs;
    UInt32 snaplen;
    UInt32 network;
};
//packet header
struct pcaprec_hdr_s {
    UInt32 ts_sec;
    UInt32 ts_usec;
    UInt32 incl_len;
    UInt32 orig_len;
};

which are initialised as follows(for example):

    let pcapHeader : pcap_hdr_s = pcap_hdr_s(magic_number: 0xa1b2c3d4,
                                            version_major: 2, 
                                            version_minor: 4, 
                                            thiszone: 0, 
                                            sigfigs: 0,
                                            snaplen: 
                                            pcap_record_size, 
                                            network: LINKTYPE_ETHERNET)

    let pcapRecHeader : pcaprec_hdr_s = pcaprec_hdr_s(ts_sec: UInt32(ts.tv_sec),
                                        ts_usec: UInt32(ts.tv_nsec), 
                                        incl_len: plen, 
                                        orig_len: length) 

I tried to create Data/NSData objects of the structs like this:

            //write pcap header
            let pcapHeaderData : NSData = NSData(bytes: pcapHeader, length: sizeofValue(pcapHeader))
            //write pcaprec header
            let pcapRecHeaderData : NSData = NSData(bytes: pcapRecHeader, length: sizeofValue(pcapRecHeader))

but I always get this error for each line:

"Connot convert value if type 'pcap_hdr_s' to expected arguemnt type 'UsafeRawPointer?'"

I had a look at the documentation of UnsafeRawPointers in Swift, but I don't get it enough as for now, to create the NSData object from the structs. Am I on the right way or is there a better one to accomplish my intend?

If this Data initialisation would work, my next steps would be

• Append pcapRecHeaderData to pcapHeaderData
• write pcapHeaderData atomically to file/url with the provided function of Data/NSData

EDIT:

//packet ethernet header
struct ethernet_hdr_s {
    let dhost : [UInt8]
    let shost : [UInt8]
    let type : UInt16
};

let src_mac : [UInt8] = [0x66, 0x77, 0x88, 0x99, 0xAA, 0xBB]
let dest_mac : [UInt8] = [0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55]

let ethernetHeader : ethernet_hdr_s = ethernet_hdr_s(dhost: dest_mac, shost: src_mac, type: 0x0800)

EDIT 2:

let payloadSize = packet.payload.count
            let plen = (payloadSize < Int(pcap_record_size) ? payloadSize : Int(pcap_record_size));

            bytesWritten = withUnsafePointer(to: &(packet.payload)) {
                $0.withMemoryRebound(to: UInt8.self, capacity: Int(plen)) {
                    ostream.write($0, maxLength: Int(plen))
                }
            }
            if bytesWritten != (Int(plen)) {
                // Could not write all bytes, report error ...
                NSLog("error in Writting packet payload, not all Bytes written: bytesWritten: %d|plen: %d", bytesWritten, Int(plen))
            }
