What I meant was that in a situation where you send a single packet, you can't pick it up as soon as it comes, you have to wait for some other timeout value that you supply... the problem is that it only has a time resolution of 1ms, so for applications that depend on a finer level can't use this. > > If you don't want to block indefinitely, don't ask the system to make > the read block indefinitely, i.e., don't use a zero timeout. > - > This is the tcpdump-workers list. > Visit https://lists.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe. > - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
