|
|
|
|

sets the read timeout that will be used on a capture handle when
|
|

.LP
|
|
|
|
|
The behavior, if the timeout isn't specified, is undefined. We
|
|
|
|
|
recommend always setting the timeout to a non-zero value unless
|
|
|
|
|
immediate mode is set, in which case the timeout has no effect.

|

|
returns 0 on success or

|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED
|
|
