+.SH NAME
+pcap_datalink \- get the link-layer header type
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.ft B
+#include <pcap/pcap.h>
+.ft
+.LP
+.ft B
+int pcap_datalink(pcap_t *p);
+.ft
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pcap_datalink()
+returns the link-layer header type for the live capture or ``savefile''
+specified by
+.IR p .
+.PP
+It must not be called on a pcap descriptor created by
+.B \%pcap_create(3PCAP)
+that has not yet been activated by
+.BR \%pcap_activate(3PCAP) .
+.PP
+.I https://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html
+lists the values
+.B pcap_datalink()
+can return and describes the packet formats that
+correspond to those values.
+.PP
+Do
+.B NOT
+assume that the packets for a given capture or ``savefile`` will have
+any given link-layer header type, such as
+.B DLT_EN10MB
+for Ethernet.  For example, the "any" device on Linux will have a
+link-layer header type of
+.B DLT_LINUX_SLL
+even if all devices on the system at the time the "any" device is opened
+have some other data link type, such as
+.B DLT_EN10MB
+for Ethernet.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.B pcap_datalink()
+returns the link-layer header type on success and
+.B PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED
+if called on a capture handle that has been created but not activated.
