From pcap_open_live(3PCAP):

pcap_t *pcap_open_live(const char *device, int snaplen, int promisc, int to_ms, char *errbuf);

to_ms specifies the read timeout in milliseconds.

But, with a value of 1, this method never returns. This is why timeout is managed through a thread.
Perhaps PCAPRUB handles this value differently than said in C library manual page

More likely the case I was was misunderstanding how the timeout was being used. 🤣
