PCAP_TSTAMP_TYPE_VAL_TO_NAME(3PCAP)

💅 PCAP_TSTAMP_TYPE_VAL_TO_NAME — the 3PCAP girlies' guide to timestamp type names 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_name (and its sibling pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_description), straight out of the 3PCAP section. it's giving "tiny page, huge slay" — two little functions, and they literally just hand you a string. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_name, pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_description — get a name or description for a time stamp type value 🕰️💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pcap.h>

const char *pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_name(int tstamp_type);
const char *pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_description(int tstamp_type);

like, that's it. two lines. we love a minimal icon. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_name() takes a time stamp type value and translates it into the corresponding time stamp type name. that's the whole job. main character energy, honestly. 👑

and if it can't do it? NULL is returned on failure. that's the vibe check failing, bestie — handle it. 😭

pcap_tstamp_type_val_to_description() is the same deal but softer: it translates a time stamp type value into a short description of that time stamp type. again — NULL is returned on failure. 🙈

so basically: value in, cute string out, or NULL if the universe said no today. periodt. 💀

💜 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY 💜

real talk — these functions became available in libpcap release 1.2.1. so if you're on something older than that, no they didn't. 🧚

like the reverse direction of the same slay. iykyk. 💫

and that's the page, bestie!! this one's the PCAP_TSTAMP_TYPE_VAL_TO_NAME(3PCAP) page, dated 22 August 2020 — go forth and convert those timestamp type values, you absolute legend. 🌸💅🔥
