pcap_lookupnet — Prototype: int pcap_lookupnet(const char *device, bpf_u_int32 *netp, bpf_u_int32 *maskp, char *errbuf)

Synopsis

Purpose: pcap_lookupnet returns the network address and network mask of the device supplied in the device parameter. The function returns 0 if successful and netp and maskp point to the network interface address and netmask, respectively. If an error occurs, pcap_lookupnet returns -1, and errbuf is populated with a human-readable error message. You can find an example of using the pcap_lookupnet function in the Section 10.2.4 section earlier in this chapter.
