💅 gnutls_dtls_get_timeout(3) — the gnutls manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's about DTLS timers. yes, timers. stay with me, it's actually iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_dtls_get_timeout — it's an API function, periodt. that's the whole name. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/dtls.h>

unsigned int gnutls_dtls_get_timeout(gnutls_session_t session);

look at her. so clean. so simple. 🫶

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie, this is literally just a gnutls_session_t type. that's the tea. 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe 👑

this function returns the milliseconds remaining for a retransmission of the previously sent handshake message. like, how long you got until the handshake message needs to go out again. ⏳

and the way this is actually useful — listen up — is when you're using DTLS in non-blocking mode. then you can use this to estimate when to call gnutls_handshake() if no packets have been received. no packets?? nothing?? crickets?? 🦗 call it anyway when the timer says so. main character energy fr fr.

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

the remaining time, in milliseconds. that's it. that's the return value. 💯

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.0 — been here since 3.0, she's a veteran, an icon, a legend, and she IS the moment. 👑
