PCAP_LOOKUPNET 3PCAP "5 April 2008"
NAME
pcap_lookupnet - find the IPv4 network number and netmask for a device
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>

char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];

int pcap_lookupnet(const char *device, bpf_u_int32 *netp, bpf_u_int32 *maskp, char *errbuf);

DESCRIPTION
pcap_lookupnet() is used to determine the IPv4 network number and mask associated with the network device device . Both netp and maskp are bpf_u_int32 pointers.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_lookupnet() returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. If -1 is returned, errbuf is filled in with an appropriate error message. errbuf is assumed to be able to hold at least PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE chars.
