PCAP_LIST_DATALINKS(3) Library Functions Manual PCAP_LIST_DATALINKS(3)NAME
pcap_list_datalinks, pcap_free_datalinks - get a list of link-layer header types supported by a capture device, and free that list
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_list_datalinks(pcap_t *p, int **dlt_buf);
void pcap_free_datalinks(int *dlt_list);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_list_datalinks() is used to get a list of the supported link-layer header types of the interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
pcap_list_datalinks() allocates an array to hold the list and sets *dlt_buf to point to that array.
The caller is responsible for freeing the array with pcap_free_datalinks(), which frees the list of link-layer header types pointed to by
dlt_list.
It must not be called on a pcap descriptor created by pcap_create() that has not yet been activated by pcap_activate().
RETURN VALUE
pcap_list_datalinks() returns the number of link-layer header types in the array on success, PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED if called on a cap-
ture handle that has been created but not activated, and PCAP_ERROR (-1) on other errors. If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr() or
pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to fetch or display the error text.

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
