What must be the linktype set to in Pcap if the the packets are to be captured from the unix socket

[<santosh.soule () wipro com>]

Hi,

If  the packet needs to be captured from the unix socket what must be
the linktype defined in the Pcap. I am writing the packets on to the
unix socket. And want to capture from it.
I am using pcap library for capturing. Pcap does'nt support's unix
sockets.

So I want to add support for unix socket to Pcap library. As pcap uses
DLT_xxx for identifying the type of interface and Linux uses the ARP
hardware type.
In case of unix socket what value should be given, is there any value
already defined. I dont have any idea about this.

What "DLT_LINUX_SLL" stands for. When it is used.

Please clarify.

Best Regards,
Santosh
