The caller is responsible for freeing the array with pcap_free_datalinks(), which frees the list of link-layer header types pointed to by dlt_list. It must not be called on a pcap descriptor created by pcap_create(3PCAP) that has not yet been activated by pcap_activate(3PCAP). RETURN VALUE pcap_list_datalinks() returns the number of link-layer header types in the array on success, PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED if called on a capture handle that has been created but not activated, and PCAP_ERROR on other errors. If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr(3PCAP) or pcap_perror(3PCAP) may be called with p as an argument to fetch or dis- play the error text.
