174 headers
175 Do filtering on USB and Bluetooth capturing

231 errors, and check for the errors in question.
232 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
233 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
234 gone away. Deal with it.
235 For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k

291 can print better diagnostic information
292 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
293 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions

440 Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
442 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
443 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
444 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
445 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
446 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
447 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
448 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
450 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
451 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
453 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
454 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
455 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
456 different OSes.
458 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
459 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
461 Updated autoconf stock files.
463 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
464 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
465 packets).
467 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
468 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
470 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
472 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
473 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
475 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
476 with snprintf.
478 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
479 erroneously after one compile failed.
481 Assorted other bug fixes.
483 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
484 platform-specific issues.
486 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
488 v0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000
490 itojun@iijlab.net
491 - Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
492 - Fixes for NetBSD.
493 - Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),
494 and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types
495 with the same numeric value.

503 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
504 entire list.
506 Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
507 - Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
508 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
509 capture file.

530 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)

578 timeouts.
580 - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
581 for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
582 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
584 - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
585 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian
