NAME¶
pcap_set_timeout - set the read timeout for a not-yet-activated capture handle
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_set_timeout(pcap_t *p, int to_ms);
DESCRIPTION¶
pcap_set_timeout() sets the read timeout that will be used on a capture
handle when the handle is activated to
to_ms, which is in units of
milliseconds.
The behavior, if the timeout isn't specified, is undefined. We recommend always
setting the timeout to a non-zero value unless immediate mode is set, in which
case the timeout has no effect.
RETURN VALUE¶
pcap_set_timeout() returns 0 on success or
PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if
called on a capture handle that has been activated.
