I don't use bash, so this is a guess. The timestamp in the file will always be unix time. The format string is what bash uses when you execute the history command such that commands are printed with the timestamp that was saved.

This allows you to change the format, without the need for bash to update all of the previously written timestamps in the file.

PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP)											     PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP)

NAME
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
#include <pcap/pcap.h> int pcap_list_tstamp_types(pcap_t *p, int **tstamp_typesp); void pcap_free_tstamp_types(int *tstamp_types); DESCRIPTION
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
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 zero means that you cannot specify a time stamp type; you are limited to the capture device's default time stamp type. If PCAP_ERROR is returned, pcap_geterr() or pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to fetch or display the error text. SEE ALSO
