.TH PCAP-LINKTYPE @MAN_MISC_INFO@ "6 April 2020"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pcap-linktype \- link-layer header types supported by libpcap
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
For a live capture or ``savefile'', libpcap supplies, as the return
|
|
value of the
|
|
.BR pcap_datalink (3PCAP)
|
|
routine, a value that indicates the type of link-layer header at the
|
|
beginning of the packets it provides. This is not necessarily the type
|
|
of link-layer header that the packets being captured have on the network
|
|
from which they're being captured; for example, packets from an IEEE
|
|
802.11 network might be provided by libpcap with Ethernet headers that
|
|
the network adapter or the network adapter driver generates from the
|
|
802.11 headers. The names for those values begin with
|
|
.BR DLT_ ,
|
|
so they are sometimes called "DLT_ values".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The values stored in the link-layer header type field in the savefile
|
|
header are, in most but not all cases, the same as the values returned
|
|
by
|
|
.BR pcap_datalink ().
|
|
The names for those values begin with
|
|
.BR LINKTYPE_ .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The link-layer header types supported by libpcap are described at
