Guy Harris 339d28cefc Give N. Leiten credit for the poll() exceptional condition checks in
pcap-linux.c memory-mapped mode.

Always doing a poll() if there are no packets available allows us to
catch disappearing interfaces in memory-mapped mode, so remove the
caveats about Linux.

Guy Harris 0c8f81c821 Snow Leopard fixes poll() and kqueues to work on BPF devices (and ttys).
Describe what happens with select() and poll() on Linux if the device on
which you're capturing goes away.

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.
