NAME

6       pcap_list_datalinks,  pcap_free_datalinks  -  get  a list of link-layer
7       header types supported by a capture device, and free that list
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <pcap/pcap.h>
11
12       int pcap_list_datalinks(pcap_t *p, int **dlt_buf);
13       void pcap_free_datalinks(int *dlt_list);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       pcap_list_datalinks() is used to get a list of the supported link-layer
17       header  types  of  the  interface  associated with the pcap descriptor.
18       pcap_list_datalinks() allocates an array to  hold  the  list  and  sets
19       *dlt_buf to point to that array.
20
21       The    caller    is    responsible   for   freeing   the   array   with
22       pcap_free_datalinks(), which frees the list of link-layer header  types
23       pointed to by dlt_list.
24

RETURN VALUE

26       pcap_list_datalinks()  returns the number of link-layer header types in
27       the  array  on  success  and  -1  on  failure.   If  -1  is   returned,
28       pcap_geterr()  or  pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to
29       fetch or display the error text.
