PCAP_SET_TIMEOUT 3PCAP "5 April 2008"
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.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_set_timeout() returns 0 on success or
PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if called on a capture handle that has been activated.
