# Deadline Example ## Overview This example shows you how to use deadline when calling calls. ### Try it! Once you have working gRPC, you can build this example using either bazel or cmake. Run the server, which will listen on port 50051: ```sh $ ./server ``` Run the client (in a different terminal): ```sh $ ./client ``` To simulate the test scenario, the test server implements following functionalities: - Response Delay: The server intentionally delays its response for `delay` request messages to induce timeout conditions. - Deadline Propagation: Upon receiving a request with the `[propagate me]` prefix, the server forwards it back to itself. This simulates the propagation of deadlines within the system. If things go smoothly, you will see the client output: ``` [Successful request] wanted = 0, got = 0 [Exceeds deadline] wanted = 4, got = 4 [Successful request with propagated deadline] wanted = 0, got = 0 [Exceeds propagated deadline] wanted = 4, got = 4 ```
