In the wrapper functions (setparam_xxx)
for ex something like this:
int setparam_uint64(pcap_t * pcap, char* param, uint64_t value)
{
char[64] buf;
sprintf(buf, "%lu", value);
return pcap->setparam_op(param, buf); //Add check for NULL op
}

That we use only one function ptr to set and get parameter values,
which uses char* as parameters.
