pcap_handler return value

[Christian Kreibich <christian () whoop org>]

Hi,


would you guys consider changing the return value of the pcap_handler
callbacks to

typedef int (*pcap_handler)(u_char *, const struct pcap_pkthdr *,
                            const u_char *);

so that the callback gets a chance to stop a pcap_loop() or
pcap_dispatch() iteration, say when returning 0 as opposed to 1? I've
repreatedly found that it'd be nice to remain in control over when to
abort the loop.

Thanks,
Christian.
