1086 errors, and check for the errors in question.
1087 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
1088 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
1089 gone away. Deal with it.

1145 Return PCAP_ERROR_IFACE_NOT_UP if the interface isn't 'UP', so applications
1146 can print better diagnostic information
1147 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
1148 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
1149 On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the
1150 interface goes down and comes back up again.

1295 Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
1297 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
1298 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
1299 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
1300 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
1301 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
1302 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
1303 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
1305 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
1306 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
1308 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
1309 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
1310 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
1313 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
1314 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
1316 Updated autoconf stock files.
1318 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
1319 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
1322 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
1323 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
1325 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
1327 Removed dependency on native headers for packet layout.
1328 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
1330 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
1333 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
1334 erroneously after one compile failed.
1336 Assorted other bug fixes.
1338 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
1339 platform-specific issues.
1341 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

1346 - Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
1348 - Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),

1357 - Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
1358 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the

1368 - Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices. From FreeBSD via Bill

1437 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
1439 - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
1440 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

1525 v0.1 Fri Apr 28 18:11:03 PDT 1995
1527 - Fixed compiler and optimizer bugs. The BPF filter engine uses unsigned
1528 comparison operators, while the code generator and optimizer assumed
