NAME
pcap_lookupdev - find the default device on which to capture
SYNOPSIS
#include char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
char *pcap_lookupdev(char *errbuf);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_lookupdev() returns a pointer to a string giving the name of a
network device suitable for use with pcap_create() and pcap_activate(),
or with pcap_open_live(), and with pcap_lookupnet().
If there is an
error, NULL is returned and errbuf is filled in with an appropriate
error message.
errbuf is assumed to be able to
hold at least
PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE chars.

/*
* pcap_open_live介绍

NAME
pcap_open_live - open a device for capturing
SYNOPSIS
#include char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
pcap_t *pcap_open_live(const char *device, int snaplen,
int promisc, int to_ms, char *errbuf);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_open_live() is used to obtain a packet capture handle to look at
packets on the network.
device is a string that specifies the network
device to open; on Linux systems with 2.2 or later kernels, a device
argument of "any" or NULL can be used to capture packets from all
interfaces.
snaplen specifies the snapshot length to be set on the handle.
promisc specifies if the interface is to be put into promiscuous mode.
to_ms specifies the read timeout in milliseconds.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_open_live() returns a pcap_t * on success and NULL on failure. If
NULL is returned, errbuf is filled in with an appropriate error mes-
sage. errbuf may also be set to warning text when pcap_open_live()
succeds; to detect this case the caller should store
a zero-length
string in errbuf before calling pcap_open_live() and display the warn-
ing to the user if errbuf is no longer a zero-length string. errbuf is
assumed to be able to hold at least PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE chars.
