Document the new API's, move a bunch of information about libpcap

concepts to the pcap(3PCAP) man page, refer people to the pcap(3PCAP)
man page from the man pages for libpcap functions, and clean up some
errors.

Both
.B pcap_create()
and
.B pcap_open_offline()
return a pointer to a
.BR pcap_t ,
which is the handle used for reading packets from the capture stream or
the ``savefile'', and for finding out information about the capture
stream or ``savefile''.
.PP
The options that can be set on a capture handle include
.IP "snapshot length"
If, when capturing, you capture the entire contents of the packet, that
requires more CPU time to copy the packet to your application, more disk
and possibly network bandwidth to write the packet data to a file, and
more disk space to save the packet. If you don't need the entire
contents of the packet - for example, if you are only interested in the
TCP headers of packets - you can set the "snapshot length" for the
capture to an appropriate value. If the snapshot length is set to
.IR snaplen ,
and
.I snaplen
is less
than the size of a packet that is captured, only the first
.I snaplen
bytes of that packet will be captured and provided as packet data.
.IP
A snapshot length of 65535 should be sufficient, on most if not all
networks, to capture all the data available from the packet.
.IP
The snapshot length is set with
.BR pcap_set_snaplen() .
.IP "promiscuous mode"
On broadcast LANs such as Ethernet, if the network isn't switched, or if
the adapter is connected to a "mirror port" on a switch to which all
packets passing through the switch are sent, a network adapter receives
all packets on the LAN, including unicast or multicast packets not sent
to a network address that the network adapter isn't configured to
recognize.
.IP
Normally, the adapter will discard those packets; however, many network
adapters support "promiscuous mode", which is a mode in which all
packets, even if they are not sent to an address that the adapter
recognizes, are provided to the host. This is useful for passively
capturing traffic between two or more other hosts for analysis.
.IP
Note that even if an application does not set promiscuous mode, the
adapter could well be in promiscuous mode for some other reason.
.IP
For now, this doesn't work on the "any" device; if an argument of "any"
or NULL is supplied, the setting of promiscuous mode is ignored.
.IP
Promiscuous mode is set with
.BR pcap_set_promisc() .
.IP "monitor mode"
On IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, even if an adapter is in promiscuous mode,
it will supply to the host only frames for the network with which it's
associated. It might also supply only data frames, not management or
control frames, and might not provide the 802.11 header or radio
information pseudo-header for those frames.
.IP
In "monitor mode", sometimes also called "rfmon mode" (for "Radio
Frequency MONitor"), the adapter will supply all frames that it
receives, with 802.11 headers, and might supply a pseudo-header with
radio information about the frame as well.
.IP
Note that in monitor mode the adapter might disassociate from the
network with which it's associated, so that you will not be able to use
any wireless networks with that adapter. This could prevent accessing
files on a network server, or resolving host names or network addresses,
if you are capturing in monitor mode and are not connected to another
network with another adapter.
.IP
Monitor mode is set with
.BR pcap_set_rfmon() ,
and
.B pcap_can_set_rfmon()
can be used to determine whether an adapter can be put into monitor
mode.
.IP "read timeout"
If, when capturing, packets are delivered as soon as they arrive, the
application capturing the packets will be woken up for each packet as it
arrives, and might have to make one or more calls to the operating
system to fetch each packet.
.IP
If, instead, packets are not delivered as soon as they arrive, but are
delivered after a short delay (called a "read timeout"), more than one
packet can be accumulated before the packets are delivered, so that a
single wakeup would be done for multiple packets, and each set of calls
made to the operating system would supply multiple packets, rather than
a single packet. This reduces the per-packet CPU overhead if packets
are arriving at a high rate, increasing the number of packets per second
that can be captured.
.IP
The read timeout is required so that an application won't wait for the
operating system's capture buffer to fill up before packets are
delivered; if packets are arriving slowly, that wait could take an
arbitrarily long period of time.
.IP
Not all platforms support a read timeout; on platforms that
don't, the read timeout is ignored. A zero value for the timeout,
on platforms that support a read timeout,
will cause a read to wait forever to allow enough packets to
arrive, with no timeout.
.IP
.BR NOTE :
the read timeout cannot be used to cause calls that read
packets to return within a limited period of time, because, on some
platforms, the read timeout isn't supported, and, on other platforms,
the timer doesn't start until at least one packet arrives. This means
that the read timeout should
.B NOT
be used, for example, in an interactive application to allow the packet
capture loop to ``poll'' for user input periodically, as there's no
guarantee that a call reading packets will return after the timeout
expires even if no packets have arrived.
.IP
The read timeout is set with
.BR pcap_set_timeout() .
.IP "buffer size"
Packets that arrive for a capture are stored in a buffer, so that they
do not have to be read by the application as soon as they arrive. On
some platforms, the buffer's size can be set; a size that's too small
could mean that, if too many packets are being captured and the snapshot
length doesn't limit the amount of data that's buffered, packets could
be dropped if the buffer fills up before the application can read
packets from it, while a size that's too large could use more
non-pageable operating system memory than is necessary to prevent
packets from being dropped.
.IP
The buffer size is set with
.BR pcap_set_buffer_size() .
