+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pcap_datalink_val_to_name()
+translates a link-layer header type value to the corresponding
+link-layer header type name, which is the
+.B DLT_

+.B DLT_
+removed.
+.B NULL
+is returned if the type value does not correspond to a known
+.B DLT_
+value.
+.PP
+.B pcap_datalink_val_to_description()
+translates a link-layer header type value to a short description of that
+link-layer header type.
+.B NULL
+is returned if the type value does not correspond to a known
+.B DLT_
+value.
+.PP
+.B pcap_datalink_val_to_description_or_dlt()
+translates a link-layer header type value to a short description of that
+link-layer header type just like pcap_datalink_val_to_description.
+If the type value does not correspond to a known
+.B DLT_
+value, the string "DLT n" is returned, where n is the value of
+the dlt argument.
