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.
