NAME

6       modbus_set_byte_timeout - set timeout between bytes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void modbus_set_byte_timeout(modbus_t *ctx, uint32_t to_sec, uint32_t
10       to_usec);
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The modbus_set_byte_timeout() function shall set the timeout interval
14       between two consecutive bytes of the same message. The timeout is an
15       upper bound on the amount of time elapsed before select() returns, if
16       the time elapsed is longer than the defined timeout, an ETIMEDOUT error
17       will be raised by the function waiting for a response.
18
19       The value of to_usec argument must be in the range 0 to 999999.
20
21       If both to_sec and to_usec are zero, this timeout will not be used at
22       all. In this case, modbus_set_response_timeout() governs the entire
23       handling of the response, the full confirmation response must be
24       received before expiration of the response timeout. When a byte timeout
25       is set, the response timeout is only used to wait for until the first
26       byte of the response.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       The function shall return 0 if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1
30       and set errno.
31

ERRORS

33       EINVAL
34           The argument ctx is NULL or to_usec is larger than 1000000.
