42.SH DESCRIPTION
43.B pcap_lookupnet()
44is used to determine the IPv4 network number and mask
45associated with the network device
46.IR device .
47Both
48.I netp
49and
50.I maskp
51are
52.I bpf_u_int32
53pointers.
54.SH RETURN VALUE
55.B pcap_lookupnet()
56returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
57If \-1 is returned,
58.I errbuf
59is filled in with an appropriate error message.
60.I errbuf
61is assumed to be able to hold at least
62.B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
63chars.
