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

||||
