PCAP_DATALINK_NAME_TO_VAL(3PCAP)										  PCAP_DATALINK_NAME_TO_VAL(3PCAP)

NAME

       pcap_datalink_name_to_val - get the link-layer header type value corresponding to a header type name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_datalink_name_to_val(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_datalink_name_to_val()  translates	a  link-layer  header  type name, which is a DLT_ name with the DLT_ removed, to the corresponding
       link-layer header type value.  The translation is case-insensitive.

RETURN VALUE

       pcap_datalink_name_to_val() returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_list_datalinks(pcap_t *p, int **dlt_buf);
       void pcap_free_datalinks(int *dlt_list);

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_list_datalinks()  is used to get a list of the supported link-layer header types of the interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
       pcap_list_datalinks() allocates an array to hold the list and sets *dlt_buf to point to that array.

       The caller is responsible for freeing the array with pcap_free_datalinks(), which frees the list of link-layer header types pointed  to	by
       dlt_list.

RETURN VALUE

       pcap_list_datalinks()  returns  the  number  of	link-layer  header  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.
