PCAP_LIST_DATALINKS 3PCAP "5 April 2008"
NAME
pcap_list_datalinks - get a list of link-layer header types supported
by a capture device
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>int pcap_list_datalinks(pcap_t *p, int **dlt_buf);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_list_datalinks() is used to get a list of the supported data link types of the interface
associated with the pcap descriptor.
pcap_list_datalinks() allocates an array to hold the list and sets
*dlt_buf . The caller is responsible for freeing the array with
pcap_free_datalinks (3PCAP). RETURN VALUE
pcap_list_datalinks() returns the number of data link types in the array on success and -1
on failure.
If -1 is returned,
pcap_geterr() or
pcap_perror() may be called with
p as an argument to fetch or display the error text.
