.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR pcap_setnonblock ()
|
|
puts a capture handle into ``non-blocking'' mode, or takes it out
|
|
of ``non-blocking'' mode, depending on whether the
|
|
.I nonblock
|
|
argument is non-zero or zero. It has no effect on ``savefiles''.
|
|
If there is an error,
|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message; otherwise,
|
|
.B 0
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In
|
|
``non-blocking'' mode, an attempt to read from the capture descriptor
|
|
with
|
|
.BR pcap_dispatch (3PCAP)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR pcap_next_ex (3PCAP)
|
|
will, if no packets are currently available to be read, return
|
|
.B 0
|
|
immediately rather than blocking waiting for packets to arrive.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR pcap_loop (3PCAP)
|
|
will loop forever, consuming CPU time when no packets are currently
|
|
available;
|
|
.BR pcap_dispatch ()
|
|
should be used instead.
|
|
.BR pcap_next (3PCAP)
|
|
will return
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
if there are no packets currently available to read;
|
|
this is indistinguishable from an error, so
|
|
.BR pcap_next_ex ()
|
|
should be used instead.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When first activated with
|
|
.BR pcap_activate (3PCAP)
|
|
or opened with
|
|
.BR pcap_open_live (3PCAP) ,
|
|
a capture handle is not in ``non-blocking mode''; a call to
|
|
.BR pcap_setnonblock ()
|
|
is required in order to put it into ``non-blocking'' mode.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
.BR pcap_getnonblock ()
|
|
returns the current ``non-blocking'' state of the capture descriptor; it
|
|
always returns
|
|
.B 0
|
|
on ``savefiles''.
|
|
If called on a capture handle that has been created but not activated,
|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED
|
|
is returned.
|
|
If there is another error,
|
|
.B PCAP_ERROR
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is filled in with an appropriate error message.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I errbuf
|
|
is assumed to be able to hold at least
|
|
.B PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE
|
|
chars.
