.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.B pcap_set_tstamp_precision()
|
|
|
|
|
sets the precision of the time stamp desired for packets captured on the pcap
|
|
|
|
|
descriptor to the type specified by
|
|
|
|
|
.IR tstamp_precision .
|
|
|
|
|
It must be called on a pcap descriptor created by
|
2019-10-06 04:26:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.B pcap_create(3PCAP)
|
2015-01-06 18:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
that has not yet been activated by
|
2019-10-06 04:26:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR pcap_activate(3PCAP) .
|
2015-01-06 18:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
Two time stamp precisions are supported, microseconds and nanoseconds. One can
|
|
|
|
|
use options
|
|
|
|
|
.B PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO and
|
|
|
|
|
.B PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NANO
|
|
|
|
|
to request desired precision. By default, time stamps are in microseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE

|
|
|
.B pcap_set_tstamp_precision()
|
2015-01-06 18:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
returns 0 on success if the specified time stamp precision is expected to be
|
2019-10-06 04:26:37 +00:00
|
|
|
supported by the capture device,
|
2015-01-06 18:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NOTSUP
|
2019-10-06 04:26:37 +00:00
|
|
|
if the capture device does not support the requested time stamp
|
|
|
|
|
precision,
|
2015-01-06 18:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED
|
|
|
|
|
if called on a capture handle that has been activated.

|
|
.SH BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
|
|
|
|
|
This function became available in libpcap release 1.5.1. In previous
|
|
|
|
|
releases, time stamps from a capture device or savefile are always given
|
|
|
|
|
in seconds and microseconds.
