   All the examples maybe, but you can surely call pcap_breakloop() from   
   your pcap_loop callback.  It is clearly documented in the pcap(3)   
   manual page -- I hope you have read that?   
      
   (The man page talks a lot about using it in signal handlers, but   
   that's just because it's a trickier case.)
