THe letters "l", "i", and "b". :-)

The name of the library is "libpcap"; sometimes people might just call
it "pcap", but they're just two names for the same thing.

People might also refer to the capture file format produced by, and read
by, libpcap as "libpcap" or "pcap" format; again, they're the same file
format.
