       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 on success 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.
