PCAP_GETERR(3PCAP)					      PCAP_GETERR(3PCAP)

NAME
     pcap_geterr, pcap_perror - get or print libpcap error message text

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pcap/pcap.h>

     char *pcap_geterr(pcap_t *p);
     void pcap_perror(pcap_t *p, const char *prefix);

DESCRIPTION
     pcap_geterr()  returns  the  error text pertaining to the last pcap library
     error.  NOTE: the pointer it returns will no longer point to a valid  error
     message  string  after  the  pcap_t passed to it is closed; you must use or
     copy the string before closing the pcap_t.

     pcap_perror() prints the text of the last pcap  library  error  on  stderr,
     prefixed by prefix.
