.TH ARES_TIMEOUT 3 "25 July 1998"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ares_fds \- Get file descriptors to select on for name service
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B struct timeval *ares_timeout(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
|
|
.B struct timeval *\fImaxtv\fP, struct timeval *\fItvbuf\fP)
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_timeout
|
|
function determines the maximum time for which the caller should wait
|
|
before invoking
|
|
.BR ares_process (3)
|
|
to process timeouts. The parameter
|
|
.I maxtv
|
|
specifies a existing maximum timeout, or
|
|
.B NULL
|
|
if the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout. The parameter
|
|
.I tvbuf
|
|
must point to a writable buffer of type
|
|
.BR "struct timeval" .
|
|
It is valid for
|
|
.I maxtv
|
|
and
|
|
.I tvbuf
|
|
to have the same value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum
|
|
timeout,
|
|
.B ares_timeout
|
|
returns the value of
|
|
.IR maxtv;
|
|
otherwise
|
|
.B ares_timeout
|
|
stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer pointed to by
|
|
.I tvbuf
|
|
and returns the value of
|
|
.IR tvbuf .
