PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP)              PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP)

NAME         top

       pcap_list_tstamp_types, pcap_free_tstamp_types - get a list of
       time stamp types supported by a capture device, and free that
       list

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_list_tstamp_types(pcap_t *p, int **tstamp_typesp);
       void pcap_free_tstamp_types(int *tstamp_types);

DESCRIPTION         top

       pcap_list_tstamp_types() is used to get a list of the supported
       time stamp types of the interface associated with the pcap
       descriptor.  pcap_list_tstamp_types() allocates an array to hold
       the list and sets *tstamp_typesp to point to the array.  See
       pcap-tstamp(7) for a list of all the time stamp types.

       The caller is responsible for freeing the array with
       pcap_free_tstamp_types(), which frees the list pointed to by
       tstamp_types.

RETURN VALUE         top

       pcap_list_tstamp_types() returns the number of time stamp types
       in the array on success and PCAP_ERROR on failure.  A return
       value of one means that the only time stamp type supported is the
       one in the list, which is the capture device's default time stamp
       type.  A return value of zero means that the only time stamp type
       supported is PCAP_TSTAMP_HOST, which is the capture device's
       default time stamp type (only older versions of libpcap will
       return that; newer versions will always return one or more
       types).  If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr(3PCAP) or
       pcap_perror(3PCAP) may be called with p as an argument to fetch
       or display the error text.

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY         top

       These functions became available in libpcap release 1.2.1.  In
       previous releases, the time stamp type cannot be set; only the
       default time stamp type offered by a capture source is available.
