NAME

       pcap_can_set_rfmon - check whether monitor mode can be set for a not-yet-activated capture
       handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_can_set_rfmon(pcap_t *p);

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_can_set_rfmon() checks whether monitor mode could be set on a capture handle when the
       handle is activated.

RETURN VALUE

       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.
