Disable address/name resolution in libpcap

We're writing an application around libpcap. The app may or may not have
DNS resolution available. We've noticed that when DNS resolution is not
available, we experience long delays when pre-testing the filters (prior to
applying them).

Is there a way to programatically disable name resolution in libpcap
(similar to tcpdump "-n" argument)? I haven't been able to find a variable
to pass in that would accomplish this directly in the library. I'm sure it
exists, but can't seem to find it.

Thanks.
