hi,i am trying write a libpcap program as follow:


/*Sniffer program.Program name is appdev.c*/

#include<stdio.h>
#include<pcap.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<netinet/in.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;
struct in_addr addr;
dev=pcap_lookupdev(errbuf);
if(dev==NULL)
{
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
exit(1);
}
else
printf("\nDEVICE:%s",dev);
if(pcap_lookupnet(dev,&net,&mask,errbuf)==-1)
{
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
exit(1);
}
else
{
addr.s_addr=net;
printf("\nNet:%s",inet_ntoa(addr));
addr.s_addr=mask;
printf("\nMask:%s",inet_ntoa(addr));
}
p=pcap_open_live(dev,60000,0,2000,errbuf);
if(p==NULL)
{
printf("\nError:%s",errbuf);
exit(1);
}
else
printf("\nDevice is opened.");
if(pcap_compile(p,&fp,filter,1,net)==-1)
{
printf("\nError:%s",pcap_geterr(p));
exit(1);
}
else
printf("\nFilter is compiled.");
if(pcap_setfilter(p,&fp)==-1)
{
printf("\nError:%s",pcap_geterr(p));
exit(1);
}
else
printf("\nFilter is set.");
pcap_loop(p,2,process_packet,NULL);
pcap_freecode(&fp);
pcap_close(p);
return 1;
}


But i only get this in terminal:

tanmoy:/home/tanmoy/Desktop/tdas # gcc appdev.c -lpcap
appdev.c: In function ‘main’:
appdev.c:63: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘pcap_loop’ from incompatible pointer type
tanmoy:/home/tanmoy/Desktop/tdas # ./a.out

DEVICE:eth0
Net:192.168.1.0
Mask:255.255.255.0
Device is opened.
Filter is compiled.




and nothing else.What should i do?

in the above specified printf, put it as follows and try once

.

the problem still exist.HELP ME.

Dear tanmoy_tiger,

I hope you responded to my post.

first of all I didn't gave u any solution. so definitely, the problem will persist. The purpose why I posted is to have a look at the output. some times, the buffer won't get flushed and the output won't get displayed. Because of that reason, I asked you to keep the \n there so that the output will be get displayed on the screen.

can you please tell me what the output you got from that printf?

then I shall try some thing.....

the output is till same

I guess this function should be as follows:

try this.....
I hope the warning may vanish...
