PCAP_CAN_SET_RFMON(3PCAP) PCAP_CAN_SET_RFMON(3PCAP)
pcap_can_set_rfmon - check whether monitor mode can be set for a not-
yet-activated capture handle
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_can_set_rfmon(pcap_t *p);
pcap_can_set_rfmon() checks whether monitor mode could be set on a
capture handle when the handle is activated.
pcap_can_set_rfmon() returns 0 if monitor mode could not be set, 1 if
monitor mode could be set, and a negative value on error. A negative
return value indicates what error condition occurred. The possible
error values are:
PCAP_ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE
The capture source specified when the handle was created
doesn't exist.
PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED
The process doesn't have permission to check whether monitor
mode could be supported.
PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED
The capture handle has already been activated.
PCAP_ERROR
Another error occurred. pcap_geterr() or pcap_perror() may be
called with p as an argument to fetch or display a message
describing the error.
Additional error codes may be added in the future; a program should
check for 0, 1, and negative, return codes, and treat all negative
return codes as errors. pcap_statustostr() can be called, with a
warning or error code as an argument, to fetch a message describing
the warning or error code.
