  .TH PCAP_SETNONBLOCK 3PCAP "18 October 2014"
  .SH NAME
  pcap_setnonblock, pcap_getnonblock \- set or get the state of
  non-blocking mode on a capture device
  .SH SYNOPSIS
  .nf
  .ft B
  #include <pcap/pcap.h>
  .ft
  .LP
  .nf
  .ft B
  char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
  .ft

  int pcap_setnonblock(pcap_t *p, int nonblock, char *errbuf);
  int pcap_getnonblock(pcap_t *p, char *errbuf);
  .ft

  .SH DESCRIPTION
  .B 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, \-1 is returned and
  .I 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
  .B pcap_dispatch()
  will, if no packets are currently available to be read, return 0
  immediately rather than blocking waiting for packets to arrive.
  .B pcap_loop()
  and
  .B pcap_next()
  will not work in ``non-blocking'' mode.
  .PP
  When first activated with
  .B pcap_activate()
  or opened with
  .B pcap_open_live() ,
  a capture handle is not in ``non-blocking mode''; a call to
  .B pcap_setnonblock()
  is required in order to put it into ``non-blocking'' mode.
  .SH RETURN VALUE
  .B 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
  .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.
