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  sup-
       ported 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_WARN-
       ING_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.
