NAME

6       ares_timeout - return maximum time to wait

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <ares.h>
10
11       struct timeval *ares_timeout(ares_channel channel,
12                                    struct timeval *maxtv,
13                                    struct timeval *tv)
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The  ares_timeout(3) function determines the maximum time for which the
17       caller should wait before invoking ares_process(3) to process timeouts.
18       The  parameter  maxtv  specifies a existing maximum timeout, or NULL if
19       the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout.  The parameter  tv
20       must  point to a writable buffer of type struct timeval It is valid for
21       maxtv and tv to have the same value.
22
23       If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum time‐
24       out,  ares_timeout(3)  returns the value of maxtv; otherwise ares_time‐
25       out(3) stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer pointed  to
26       by tv and returns the value of tv.
