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
