If pcap_breakloop() is called in a signal handler, and the signal in

that won't help.
Can I send a signal myself to get it to terminate cleanly? If so, is there a
good reference for how to do this? (Sorry, I'm new to C and *nix programming
and I don't know much about signals.)
The function raise() sends a signal to the own process. Type man
raise for more information.
