NAME

       pcap_geterr, pcap_perror - get or print libpcap error message text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_geterr()  returns  the  error  text pertaining to the last pcap library error.  NOTE: the pointer it returns will no longer point to a
       valid error message string after the pcap_t passed to it is closed; you must use or copy the string before closing the pcap_t.

       pcap_perror() prints the text of the last pcap library error on stderr, prefixed by prefix.
