   |  Is there some reason why tcptrace isn't just using pcap_loop() or
   |  pcap_dispatch() or some libpcap API,
 
 No idea, I was simply trying to build it (via pkgsrc) on NetBSD.
 tcptrace comes from:
 
 	https://github.com/blitz/tcptrace
 
 NetBSD pkgsrc has (builds) version 6.6.7 - I have no idea whether or
 not that's the most recent one.   It probably is, as it appears (that
 at least on github) tcptrace has been frozen (readonly) for more than
 5 years now, so I'd assume nothing is going to change in its code any
 more.
 
 All I did was find the smallest change I could apply to the sources
 as they are which would make it build.
 
   |  (The name was changed because somebody complained
 
 That's fine, no complaints about libpcap, nor what stuff is called.
