TERMKEY_SET_WAITTIME(3)

💖 TERMKEY_SET_WAITTIME 💖

okay bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and the page is literally called TERMKEY_SET_WAITTIME(3). yes, that's a mouthful. we're doing it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

termkey_set_waittime, termkey_get_waittime — control the wait time for multibyte sequences

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <termkey.h>

void termkey_set_waittime(TermKey *tk, int msec);
int termkey_get_waittime(TermKey *tk);

Link with -ltermkey.

not me reminding you to link with -ltermkey... but like, link with -ltermkey. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so termkey_set_waittime() sets the number of milliseconds that termkey_waitkey(3) will wait for the remaining bytes of a multibyte sequence, if it detects the start of a partially-complete one. that's the whole vibe. it's the "hold up, more bytes are coming, gimme a sec" timer. ⏳

and termkey_get_waittime() returns the value set by the last call to termkey_set_waittime(), or the default value if a different one has not been set. yes, "a different" — that's literally what the original says, we're keeping it, no cap. 🙈

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

termkey_set_waittime() returns no value. like, nothing. void. she gives you zero information back, she just does the thing. iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

termkey_get_waittime() returns the current wait time in milliseconds. a whole number, bestie. ⭐
