.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pcap_lookupnet()
is used to determine the IPv4 network number and mask
associated with the network device
.IR device .
Both
.I netp
and
.I maskp
are
.I bpf_u_int32
pointers.

returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
If \-1 is returned,
.I errbuf
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
.I errbuf
is assumed to be able to hold at least
.B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
chars.
