DTLS_SET_TIMER_CB(3ossl) OpenSSL DTLS_SET_TIMER_CB(3ossl)
NAME
DTLS_timer_cb, DTLS_set_timer_cb - Set callback for controlling DTLS
timer duration
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
typedef unsigned int (*DTLS_timer_cb)(SSL *s, unsigned int timer_us);
void DTLS_set_timer_cb(SSL *s, DTLS_timer_cb cb);
DESCRIPTION
This function sets an optional callback function for controlling the
timeout interval on the DTLS protocol. The callback function will be
called by DTLS for every new DTLS packet that is sent.
The callback should return the timeout interval in micro seconds.
The timer_us parameter of the callback is the last set timeout interval
returned. On the first invocation of the callback, this value will be
0.
At the beginning of the connection, if no timeout callback has been set
via DTLS_set_timer_cb(3), the default timeout value is 1 second. For
all subsequent timeouts, the default behavior is to double the duration
up to a maximum of 1 minute.
RETURN VALUES
Returns void.
HISTORY
The DTLS_set_timer_cb(3) function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
