thanks
Hoever if I change to pcap_close(&handle) I get the following error:
$ make
gcc ./a.c -lpcap
./a.c: In function ‘main’:
./a.c:53:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘pcap_close’ from incompatible
pointer type [enabled by default]
In file included from /usr/include/pcap.h:45:0,
from ./a.c:1:
/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h:350:6: note: expected ‘struct pcap_t *’ but
argument is of type ‘struct pcap_t **’
thanks
