.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Add or remove promiscuity from a device\&. While the count in the device remains above zero the interface remains promiscuous\&. Once it hits zero the device reverts back to normal filtering operation\&. A negative inc value is used to drop promiscuity on the device\&. Return 0 if successful or a negative errno code on error\&.
