NAME¶
pcap_set_tstamp_type - set the time stamp type to be used by a capture device
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_set_tstamp_type(pcap_t *p, int tstamp_type);
DESCRIPTION¶
pcap_set_tstamp_type() sets the the type of time stamp desired for
packets captured on the pcap descriptor to the type specified by
tstamp_type. It must be called on a pcap descriptor created by
pcap_create() that has not yet been activated by
pcap_activate(). pcap_list_tstamp_types() will give a list of
the time stamp types supported by a given capture device. See
pcap-tstamp(7) for a list of all the time stamp types.
RETURN VALUE¶
pcap_set_tstamp_type() returns 0 on success if the specified time stamp
type is expected to be supported by the capture device,
PCAP_WARNING_TSTAMP_TYPE_NOTSUP if the specified time stamp type is not
supported by the capture device, PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if called on a
capture handle that has been activated, and
PCAP_ERROR_CANTSET_TSTAMP_TYPE if the capture device doesn't support
setting the time stamp type.
