Usage

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

int pcap_setfilter(pcap_t *p, struct bpf_program *fp);

Overview

pcap_setfilter() is used to specify a filter program. fp is a pointer to a bpf_program struct, usually the result of a call to pcap_compile(3PCAP).

Return value

pcap_setfilter() returns 0 on success and PCAP_ERROR on failure. If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr(3PCAP) or pcap_perror(3PCAP) may be called with p as an argument to fetch or display the error text.
