PCAP_GET_TSTAMP_PRECISION 3PCAP "18 December 2013"
NAME
pcap_get_tstamp_precision - get the time stamp precision returned in captures
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>

int pcap_get_tstamp_precision(pcap_t *p);

DESCRIPTION
pcap_get_tstamp_precision() returns the precision of the time stamp returned in packet captures on the pcap descriptor.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_get_tstamp_precision() returns PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_MICRO or PCAP_TSTAMP_PRECISION_NANO , which indicates that pcap captures contains time stamps in microseconds or nanoseconds respectively.
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.
