Red face libpcap programming


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
i want to make a program using libpcap.But it doesn't work properly.
My code is as follow:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<pcap.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void process_packet(u_char *arg,struct pcap_pkthdr *header,u_char *packet)
{
printf("\npacket is captured");
}
int main()
{
char *dev;
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
bpf_u_int32 mask,net;
struct bpf_program fp;
char filter[]="ip";
pcap_t *p;
printf("1");
dev=pcap_lookupdev(errbuf);
printf("dev:%s",dev);
printf("\n2");
if(dev==NULL)
{
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
exit(0);
}
else
printf("\nDEVICE:%s",dev);
if(pcap_lookupnet(dev,&net,&mask,errbuf)==-1)
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
printf("\n3");
p=pcap_open_live(dev,200,1,2000,errbuf);
if(p==NULL)
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
if(pcap_compile(p,&fp,filter,0,net)==-1)
printf("\nError:%s",pcap_geterr(p));
if(pcap_setfilter(p,&fp)==-1)
printf("\nError:%s",pcap_geterr(p));
pcap_loop(p,2,process_packet,NULL);
printf("\nLibrary version:%s \n",pcap_lib_version());
pcap_freecode(&fp);
pcap_close(p);
return 1;
}
and in console i get this:
tanmoy:/home/tanmoy/Desktop/tdas # gcc appdev.c -lpcap
appdev.c: In function ‘main’:
appdev.c:37: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘pcap_loop’ from incompatible pointer type
tanmoy:/home/tanmoy/Desktop/tdas # ./a.out
1dev:eth0
2
DEVICE:eth0



and nothing else.What should i do???????????What is the problem?
