Guy Harris 0ba94d1cfa Consistently use "link-layer header type".
Use "link-layer header type" as the term for DLT_ values; it doesn't
necessarily correspond to the actual data link type of the device
(802.11 devices, for example, can supply Ethernet headers).

Guy Harris b9546dd6de Add some additional SEE ALSO references.
In the pcap_list_datalinks() man page, refer to the
pcap_datalink_val_to_name() man page, as the routines described there
can be used to print out names and descriptive text for the values
returned by pcap_list_datalinks().

In the pcap_set_datalink() man page, refer to the
pcap_datalink_name_to_val() man page, as pcap_datalink_name_to_val() can
be used to convert a name for a link-layer header type into a value to
be handed to pcap_set_datalink().

Update the change date on some man pages while we're at it.

guy f84d077e07 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.

guy 3734017134 Include <pcap/pcap.h> in the SUMMARY sections - as long as we're going
to 1.0, might as well go with the place where Red Hat stuck the header
at one point and where the header "officially" resides.

(We should put a "backwards compatibility" note into pcap.3pcap.)

guy baadfaab07 Split the pcap(3) man page into a bunch of individual man pages for
functions plus an overall man page for libpcap, and put them all into
section 3PCAP.  That means you can actually do "man pcap_open_live" and
get something meaningful, rather than having to do "man pcap" and then
scroll through all the other stuff in the man page.
