It's called...

..."pcap_findalldevs()".

I've never read it, so I can't say how good it is, but "Building Open
Source Network Security Tools: Components and Techniques":

"contains a full writeup on libnet 1.1.0", according to the libnet page:

        http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/

Its author is also the author of libnet.

There's a paper on libnet 1.0[.x] at

        http://www.securityfocus.com/data/library/libnet_wp.pdf

I haven't read it.
