KNET_HAND..._INTERVAL(3)

✨ knet_handle_set_transport_reconnect_interval ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page out of the Kronosnet Programmer's Manual — it lives in section 3 of the libknet docs, and it's all about that one little knob that decides how long your handle waits before it tries to reconnect a link that died. 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

knet_handle_set_transport_reconnect_interval — sets the interval between transport attempts to reconnect a failed link.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <libknet.h>

int knet_handle_set_transport_reconnect_interval(
    knet_handle_t  knet_h,
    uint32_t       msecs
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the function is literally called knet_handle_set_transport_reconnect_interval, and honestly? The name ate. It does exactly what it says on the tin. 🫶

Here's the tea on the arguments:

• knet_h — a pointer to a knet_handle_t. That's your handle, your main character, the whole vibe. ✨
• msecs — the interval, in milliseconds. ⏱️

ngl there's not a ton of extra lore here — this page is short and sweet and it knows it.

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

knet_handle_set_transport_reconnect_interval returns 0 on success, and -1 on error — and when it errors, errno gets set. so like, check that. fr fr. 😭
