pcap_statustostr — convert a PCAP_ERROR_ or PCAP_WARNING_ value to a string. periodt 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

that's the whole setup, no cap 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pcap_statustostr() converts a PCAP_ERROR_ or PCAP_WARNING_ value returned by a libpcap routine to an error string. literally her whole job is taking the code libpcap handed back and turning it into text you can actually read 😭👑

if you've got a PCAP_ERROR_ or PCAP_WARNING_ value from a libpcap routine, she's the one who translates it into a string. iconic behavior only 💜
