PCAP_SETNONBLOCK(3PCAP)PCAP_SETNONBLOCK(3PCAP)NAME
pcap_setnonblock, pcap_getnonblock - set or get the state of non-blocking mode on a capture device
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
int pcap_setnonblock(pcap_t *p, int nonblock, char *errbuf);
int pcap_getnonblock(pcap_t *p, char *errbuf);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_setnonblock() puts a capture handle into ``non-blocking'' mode, or takes it out of ``non-blocking'' mode, depending on whether the
nonblock argument is non-zero or zero. It has no effect on ``savefiles''. If there is an error, -1 is returned and errbuf is filled in
with an appropriate error message; otherwise, 0 is returned. In ``non-blocking'' mode, an attempt to read from the capture descriptor with
pcap_dispatch() will, if no packets are currently available to be read, return 0 immediately rather than blocking waiting for packets to
arrive. pcap_loop() and pcap_next() will not work in ``non-blocking'' mode.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_getnonblock() returns the current ``non-blocking'' state of the capture descriptor; it always returns 0 on ``savefiles''. If there is
an error, -1 is returned and errbuf is filled in with an appropriate error message.
errbuf is assumed to be able to hold at least PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE chars.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
