I would guess that `pcap_t' is intended to be an abstract type, and
shouldn't be accessed from within applications. The `-int' in
`pcap-int.h' presumably stands for `internal'.
You would still be able to declare variables of type `pcap_t *',
assign return values from libpcap functions to those variables, and
pass them as arguments to libpcap functions.
