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.
