Speak of a "link-layer header type" rather than a "link-layer type"; a 

given link-layer type, e.g. 802.11, might have multiple header types
(802.11, 802.11 plus various radio headers, Ethernet), and multiple
link-layer types might have the same header type (802.11 interfaces
might supply Ethernet headers, and Linux loopback interfaces supply
Ethernet headers as well).

Point to tcpdump.org's page of link-layer header types, rather than to
the net/bpf.h header that 1) might not exist on your system and 2) might
not be up-to-date if it does exist.

complete hex dump of an encapsulated packet and you wish to specify
the exact type of encapsulation. Example: I<-l 7> for ARCNet packets.
