Some man pages used bold font for special meaning constants (e.g. -1 for
infinity, 0 for false, 1 for true, NULL), but some didn't. Make the
formatting consistently bold, but leave ordinary constants (number of
packets in a buffer, a timeout, a buffer size) intact.

Use the BSD house style, in which, in
foobar() returns 17 on success and 137 on failure.
"foobar" is boldfaced but "()" isn't.

All manpage references such as pcap_create(3PCAP) will now be formatted
with the identifier (e.g. "pcap_create") in **bold** and the section
name (e.g. "(3PCAP)") in roman (default) face. This is how most manpages
seem to be formatted and makes things more consistent.

When a man page text for the first time refers to a libpcap function that
is not a topic of the man page, make sure it points to the 3PCAP section.
This way the reference becomes a hyperlink in the HTML version and the
web-site cohesion improves.
Make sure the SEE ALSO section does not list references already present
in the main text. This way the references that appear only in SEE ALSO
are much easier to notice, and cohesion remains the same.

In the man pages that since the previous timestamp had meaningful (i.e.
not typos or whitespace fixups) changes set the timestamp to the date
of such last meaningful change.

Give each warning and error code its own paragraph.
Note that, in the future, additional warning and error codes may be
added, so programs should treat *all* negative return codes as errors,
and, if the warning or error code isn't one the program specifically
checks for, and isn't PCAP_ERROR, it should use pcap_statustostr() to
report the error.
(Yes, we've added additional return codes in the past, subsequent to
release 1.0, so it's not as if we're changing anything with this
announcement.)

This change removes CVS keywords that express that the file belongs to
libpcap repository. All such keywords represented the revision and
timestamp by the end of 2008 or even older.

In the pcap_list_datalinks() man page, refer to the
pcap_datalink_val_to_name() man page, as the routines described there
can be used to print out names and descriptive text for the values
returned by pcap_list_datalinks().
In the pcap_set_datalink() man page, refer to the
pcap_datalink_name_to_val() man page, as pcap_datalink_name_to_val() can
be used to convert a name for a link-layer header type into a value to
be handed to pcap_set_datalink().
Update the change date on some man pages while we're at it.

Have pcap_can_set_rfmon() return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if you don't
have permission to check the device and PCAP_ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE if
there's no such device, at least on Mac OS X. Other platforms need to
be fixed as well.
Update the documentatation to reflect that it can return
PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED, fix a typo, and speak of capture sources rather
than devices.

concepts to the pcap(3PCAP) man page, refer people to the pcap(3PCAP)
man page from the man pages for libpcap functions, and clean up some
errors.
