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(3) or pcap_perror(3) 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(3) can be called, with a
warning or error code as an argument, to fetch a message describing the
warning or error code.
