is used to get a list of the supported link-layer header types of the
|
|
|
|
|
interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
|
2009-03-21 20:43:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.B pcap_list_datalinks()

The caller is responsible for freeing the array with

|
|
|
.BR pcap_free_datalinks() ,
|
|
|

if called on a capture handle that has been created but not activated,
