  40. .SH DESCRIPTION
  41. .B pcap_lookupnet()
  42. is used to determine the IPv4 network number and mask
  43. associated with the network device
  44. .IR device .
  45. Both
  46. .I netp
  47. and
  48. .I maskp
  49. are
  50. .I bpf_u_int32
  51. pointers.
  52. .SH RETURN VALUE
  53. .B pcap_lookupnet()
  54. returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
  55. If \-1 is returned,
  56. .I errbuf
  57. is filled in with an appropriate error message.
  58. .I errbuf
  59. is assumed to be able to hold at least
  60. .B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
  61. chars.
