NAME
pcap_datalink_val_to_name, pcap_datalink_val_to_description,
pcap_datalink_val_to_description_or_dlt - get a name or description for
a link-layer header type value
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap.h>
const char *pcap_datalink_val_to_name(int dlt);
const char *pcap_datalink_val_to_description(int dlt);
const char *pcap_datalink_val_to_description_or_dlt(int dlt);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_datalink_val_to_name() translates a link-layer header type value
to the corresponding link-layer header type name, which is the DLT_
name for the link-layer header type value with the DLT_ removed. NULL
is returned if the type value does not correspond to a known DLT_
value.
pcap_datalink_val_to_description() translates a link-layer header type
value to a short description of that link-layer header type. NULL is
returned if the type value does not correspond to a known DLT_ value.
pcap_datalink_val_to_description_or_dlt() translates a link-layer
header type value to a short description of that link-layer header type
just like pcap_datalink_val_to_description. If the type value does not
correspond to a known DLT_ value, the string "DLT n" is returned, where
n is the value of the dlt argument.
