The following is the old page content

{hping recv ?-hexdata? `interface` `?timeout?` `?count?`}

Receive packets as a [Tcl] list in the [APD] format. `interface` is
the interface from wich to read packets, `timeout` is an optional
argument to set a timeout value in milliseconds, with the
exception that a zero timeout means to return as soon as possible
the packets that was already in queue when the [hping recv] subcommand

was called, while a -1 `timeout` value means to expect forever
for packets (no timeout). If `timeout` is specified, an additional
(optional) `count` parameter can be specified, modifing the recv
subcommand behaviour to return as soon as `count` packets were
already received. A special `count` value of zero means
to collect an infinite number of packets (at least until the
timeout is not reached).  http://www.admins-support.info

The optional *-hexdata* switch specify to return packets payload
as hex digits instead of quoted strings. To use *-hexdata* is encouraged
for all the applications, but the ones that needs to display packets
in a human readable format.

For default the timeout is set to -1, and count to 1 (in other
words hping will wait forever if no packets are available, but
will return when the first packet is received).
