- BIOCGDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRECTION get or set the setting determining
whether incoming, outgoing, or all packets on the interface should be
returned by BPF. Set to BPF_D_IN to see only incoming packets on the
interface. Set to BPF_D_INOUT to see packets originating locally and
remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing
packets on the interface. This setting is initialized to BPF_D_INOUT
by default. BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT are obsoleted by these but
kept for backward compatibility.
- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.
Note that libpcap has been modified to support BPF_D_OUT direction for
pcap_setdirection(3) and PCAP_D_OUT direction is functional now.

including to printf(). Using uintmax_t is also robust to further
extensions in both the C language and the bitwidth of kernel counters.

a -B option which causes bpf peers to be printed. This option can be
used in conjunction with -I if information about specific interfaces
is desired. This is similar to what NetBSD added to their version of
netstat.

-Add bpf.c which stores all the code for retrieving and parsing bpf
related statistics.
-Modify main.c to add support for the -B option and hook it into the
program logic.
-Add bpf.c to the build.
-Document this new functionality in the man page and bump the revision
date.
-Add prototype for bpf_stats function.
