.TH ARES_TIMEOUT 3 "25 July 1998" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_timeout \- return maximum time to wait |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
#include <ares.h> |
|
|
|
struct timeval *ares_timeout(ares_channel_t *\fIchannel\fP, |
|
struct timeval *\fImaxtv\fP, |
|
struct timeval *\fItv\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
The \fBares_timeout(3)\fP function determines the maximum time for which the |
|
caller should wait before invoking \fIares_process(3)\fP to process timeouts. |
|
The parameter \fImaxtv\fP specifies a existing maximum timeout, or \fBNULL\fP |
|
if the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout. The parameter |
|
\fItv\fP must point to a writable buffer of type \fBstruct timeval\fP It is |
|
valid for \fImaxtv\fP and \fItv\fP to have the same value. |
|
|
|
If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum timeout, |
|
\fBares_timeout(3)\fP returns the value of \fImaxtv\fP; otherwise |
|
\fBares_timeout(3)\fP stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer |
|
pointed to by \fItv\fP and returns the value of \fItv\fP. |
