pcap_list_datalinks.3pcap

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.
