+.SH NAME
+pcap_list_datalinks, pcap_free_datalinks \- get a list of link-layer header
+types supported by a capture device, and free that list
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.ft B
+#include <pcap/pcap.h>

+.LP
+.ft B
+int pcap_list_datalinks(pcap_t *p, int **dlt_buf);
+void pcap_free_datalinks(int *dlt_list);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pcap_list_datalinks()
+is used to get a list of the supported link-layer header types of the
+interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
+.B pcap_list_datalinks()
+allocates an array to hold the list and sets
+.IR *dlt_buf 
+to point to that array.
+.LP
+The caller is responsible for freeing the array with
+.BR pcap_free_datalinks() ,
+which frees the list of link-layer header types pointed to by
+.IR dlt_list .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.B pcap_list_datalinks()
+returns the number of link-layer header types in the array on success
+and \-1 on failure.
+If \-1 is returned,
+.B pcap_geterr()
+or
+.B pcap_perror()
+may be called with
+.I p
+as an argument to fetch or display the error text.
