SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_set_timeout(pcap_t *p, int to_ms);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_set_timeout() sets the read timeout that will be used on a capture handle when the handle is activated to to_ms, which is in units of
milliseconds.
The behavior, if the timeout isn't specified, is undefined. We recommend always setting the timeout to a non-zero value.
RETURN VALUE
