+.SH NAME
+pcap-linktype \- link-layer header types supported by libpcap
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For a live capture or ``savefile'', libpcap supplies, as the return
+value of the
+.BR pcap_datalink (3PCAP)
+routine, a value that indicates the type of link-layer header at the
+beginning of the packets it provides. This is not necessarily the type
+of link-layer header that the packets being captured have on the network
+from which they're being captured; for example, packets from an IEEE
+802.11 network might be provided by libpcap with Ethernet headers that
+the network adapter or the network adapter driver generates from the
+802.11 headers. The names for those values begin with
+.BR DLT_ ,
+so they are sometimes called "DLT_ values".
+.PP
+The values stored in the link-layer header type field in the savefile
+header are, in most but not all cases, the same as the values returned
+by
+.BR pcap_datalink() .
+The names for those values begin with
+.BR LINKTYPE_ .
+.PP
+The link-layer header types supported by libpcap are listed here. The
+value corresponding to
+.B LINKTYPE_
+names are given; the value corresponding to
+.B DLT_
+values are, in some cases, platform dependent, and are not given;
+applications should check for particular
+.B DLT_
+values by name.
+.RS 5
+.TP 5
+.BR DLT_NULL "; " LINKTYPE_NULL = 0
+BSD loopback encapsulation; the link layer header is a 4-byte field, in
+.I host
+byte order, containing a PF_ value from
+.B socket.h
+for the network-layer protocol of the packet.
+.IP
+Note that ``host byte order'' is the byte order of the machine on which
+the packets are captured, and the PF_ values are for the OS of the
+machine on which the packets are captured; if a live capture is being
+done, ``host byte order'' is the byte order of the machine capturing the
+packets, and the PF_ values are those of the OS of the machine capturing
+the packets, but if a ``savefile'' is being read, the byte order and PF_
+values are
+.I not
+necessarily those of the machine reading the capture file.
+.TP 5

+Ethernet (10Mb, 100Mb, 1000Mb, and up); the

+for UNCOMPRESSED_TCP, the rest of the modified IP header, and for
+COMPRESSED_TCP, the compressed TCP/IP datagram header;
