In these circumstances, a client will hang indefinitely, until the time limit set by this function has been exceeded. The most common situation which arises is that the server machine is down. Setting 'new' to zero seconds causes the toolkit to never time out; it will wait forever for a connection. The default value for the timeout within the toolkit is zero. Return ValueReturns the previously defined timeout value or (-1) if the parameter 'new' is a negative number, in which case the timeout is not changed.Related Topicsdt_mer_server(3) dt_thor_server(3) |
