1091 errors, and check for the errors in question.
1092 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
1093 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has

1150 Return PCAP_ERROR_IFACE_NOT_UP if the interface isn't 'UP', so applications
1151 can print better diagnostic information
1152 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
1153 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
1154 On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the
1155 interface goes down and comes back up again.

1300 Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
1302 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
1303 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
1304 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
1305 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
1306 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
1307 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
1308 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
1310 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
1311 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
1313 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
1314 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
1315 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
1318 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
1319 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
1321 Updated autoconf stock files.
1323 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
1324 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
1327 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
1328 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
1330 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
1332 Removed dependency on native headers for packet layout.
1333 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
1335 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
1338 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
1339 erroneously after one compile failed.
1341 Assorted other bug fixes.
1343 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
1344 platform-specific issues.
1346 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

1351 - Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
1353 - Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),

1362 - Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
1363 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the

1373 - Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices. From FreeBSD via Bill

1440 - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check

1442 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
1444 - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
1445 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

1530 v0.1 Fri Apr 28 18:11:03 PDT 1995
1532 - Fixed compiler and optimizer bugs. The BPF filter engine uses unsigned
1533 comparison operators, while the code generator and optimizer assumed
