NAME

6       remctl_set_timeout - Set timeout for subsequent remctl client
7       operations
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <remctl.h>
11
12       int remctl_set_timeout(struct remctl *r, time_t timeout);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       remctl_set_timeout() sets the timeout for connections and commands to
16       timeout, which should be an integer number of seconds.  timeout may be
17       0 to clear a timeout that was previously set and restore the default
18       behavior of having no timeout.  All subsequent operations on the given
19       struct remctl argument will be subject to this timeout, including
20       remctl_open() if called prior to calling remctl_open().
21
22       The timeout is a timeout on network activity from the server, not on a
23       complete operation.  So, for example, a timeout of ten seconds just
24       requires that the server send some data every ten seconds.  If the
25       server sends only tiny amounts of data at a time, the complete
26       operation could take much longer than ten seconds without triggering
27       the timeout.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       remctl_set_timeout() returns true on success and false on failure.  The
31       only failure case is if timeout is negative.  On failure, the caller
32       should call remctl_error() to retrieve the error message.
33

COMPATIBILITY

35       This interface was added in version 3.1.
