python - ctypes and passing a by reference to a function

I'm trying to use libpcap in python3 using ctypes.

given the following function in C

pcap_lookupnet(dev, &net, &mask, errbuf)

in python I have the following

pcap_lookupnet = pcap.pcap_lookupnet

mask = ctypes.c_uint32
net = ctypes.c_int32

if(pcap_lookupnet(dev,net,mask,errbuf) == -1):
print("Error could not get netmask for device {0}".format(errbuf))
sys.exit(0)

and the error i get is

  File "./libpcap.py", line 63, in <module>
 if(pcap_lookupnet(dev,net,mask,errbuf) == -1):
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 2: <class 'TypeError'>: Don't know how to convert parameter 2

how do you deal with &blah values ?

You need to create instances for net and mask, and use byref to pass them.

mask = ctypes.c_uint32()
net = ctypes.c_int32()
pcap_lookupnet(dev, ctypes.byref(net), ctypes.byref(mask), errbuf)
