PCAP_LIB_VERSION(3PCAP) PCAP_LIB_VERSION(3PCAP)
pcap_lib_version - get the version information for libpcap
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
const char *pcap_lib_version(void);
pcap_lib_version() returns a pointer to a string giving
information about the version of the libpcap library being used.
The string begins with the words "libpcap version". Then follows
the version, which consists of three dot-separated numbers and the
optional "-PRE-GIT" suffix to indicate a development snapshot,
same as in the output of pcap-config --version in sufficiently
recent libpcap releases. After the version often follows
additional text to indicate particular features. For example:
an old release, on any OS
libpcap version 1.5.3
a newer release on a Linux host
libpcap version 1.10.4 (with TPACKET_V3)
the same, built with DAG support only
libpcap version 1.10.4 (DAG-only)
a development snapshot on a FreeBSD host
libpcap version 1.11.0-PRE-GIT (with zerocopy support)
pcap-config(1), pcap(3PCAP)
