PCAP_STRERROR(3PCAP) PCAP_STRERROR(3PCAP)
pcap_strerror - convert an errno value to a string
#include <pcap/pcap.h> const char *pcap_strerror(int error);
This function returns an error message string corresponding to error. It uses either strerror(3) or its thread-safe variant if one is available, which currently is the case in every supported OS.
This function was not thread-safe in libpcap before 1.8.1 on Windows and in libpcap before 1.11.0 on all other OSes.
