+.TH PCAP_SET_TIMEOUT 3PCAP "20 January 2017"
+.SH NAME
+pcap_set_timeout \- set the packet buffer timeout for a
+not-yet-activated capture handle
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.ft B
+#include <pcap/pcap.h>
+.LP
+.ft B
+int pcap_set_timeout(pcap_t *p, int to_ms);
+.ft
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pcap_set_timeout()
+sets the packet buffer timeout that will be used on a capture handle
+when the handle is activated to
+.IR to_ms ,
+which is in units of milliseconds.  (See
+.BR pcap (3PCAP)
+for an explanation of the packet buffer timeout.)
+.LP
+The behavior, if the timeout isn't specified, is undefined, as is the
+behavior if the timeout is set to zero or to a negative value.  We
+recommend always setting the timeout to a non-zero value unless
+immediate mode is set, in which case the timeout has no effect.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.B pcap_set_timeout()
+returns 0 on success or
+.B PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED
+if called on a capture handle that has been activated.
