PCAP_TSTAM...AME_TO_VAL(3)

💅 pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val — bestie edition 💅

okay so real quick, this page lives in the Library Functions Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) and it's all about one lil function that turns a time stamp type name into a time stamp type value. iconic behavior honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val — get the time stamp type value corresponding to a time stamp type name 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

int pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val(const char *name);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val() translates a time stamp type name to the corresponding time stamp type value. that's it, that's the whole job. and the translation is case-insensitive, so like, go ahead and scream it or whisper it, pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val() does not care 💅

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

pcap_tstamp_type_name_to_val() returns the time stamp type value on success, and PCAP_ERROR on failure. no cap. 😭

💀 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY 💀

this function became available in libpcap release 1.2.1. so if you're on something older than that... bestie. upgrade. 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• pcap(3) — the main character
• pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_name(3) — the reverse direction, the other half of the duo 🌈

that's the whole page, bestie! go forth and translate those names fr fr 🧚💜
