+Set the time stamp precision for the capture to
+\fItstamp_precision\fP. Currently supported are microseconds and
+nanoseconds. Note that availability of high precision time stamps (nanoseconds)
+and their actual accuracy is platform and HW dependent. Also note that when
+writing captures to the savefile, distinct magic number is used to distinguish
+savefiles which contains time stamps in nanoseconds.
