✨ gnutls_heartbeat_get_timeout ✨

okay bestie, we're deep in the gnutls manual right now — this one's a function page, and yes it's exactly as niche and exactly as useful as it sounds 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_heartbeat_get_timeout — an API function, and honestly? it's giving clock watcher ⏰

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

unsigned int gnutls_heartbeat_get_timeout(gnutls_session_t session);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is just a gnutls_session_t type. that's the whole vibe. it's the session, she's the main character, we're asking her a question 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 — this function hands you back the milliseconds remaining before a retransmission of that ping message you sent earlier. like, the ping you already yeeted out into the world.

and why do you care? because when you're using ping in non-blocking mode, you can't just sit there and wait. so you call this bad boy to estimate when you should call gnutls_heartbeat_ping() if no packets have come home yet. it's literally your little countdown timer bestie, no cap 🫶

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

the remaining time, in milliseconds. that's it, that's the whole answer ⭐

👑 SINCE 👑

3.1.2 — she's been around, she's iconic, periodt 💜
