💖 NAME 💖

pcap_freecode — free a BPF program. This page is from the 3PCAP manual, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

void pcap_freecode(struct bpf_program *);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so pcap_freecode() is your cleanup bestie: it frees up allocated memory pointed to by a bpf_program struct generated by pcap_compile(3PCAP) when that BPF program is no longer needed. Like, for example, after it has been made the filter program for a pcap structure by a call to pcap_setfilter(3PCAP). That’s the moment. Slay. 🫶
