DTLSV1_GET_TIMEOUT(3ossl) OpenSSL DTLSV1_GET_TIMEOUT(3ossl)
NAME
DTLSv1_get_timeout - determine when a DTLS or QUIC SSL object next
needs a timeout event to be handled
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int DTLSv1_get_timeout(SSL *s, struct timeval *tv);
DESCRIPTION
DTLSv1_get_timeout(3) can be used on a DTLS or QUIC SSL object to
determine when the SSL object next needs to perform internal processing
due to the passage of time.
Calling DTLSv1_get_timeout(3) results in *tv being written with an
amount of time left before the SSL object needs have
DTLSv1_handle_timeout() called on it. If the SSL object needs to be
ticked immediately, *tv is zeroed and the function succeeds, returning
1. If no timeout is currently active, this function returns 0.
This function is only applicable to DTLS and QUIC objects. It fails if
called on any other kind of SSL object.
Note that the value output by a call to DTLSv1_get_timeout(3) may change
as a result of other calls to the SSL object.
Once the timeout expires, DTLSv1_handle_timeout() should be called to
handle any internal processing which is due; for more information, see
DTLSv1_handle_timeout(3).
SSL_get_event_timeout(3) supersedes all use cases for this this
function and may be used instead of it.
RETURN VALUES
On success, writes a duration to *tv and returns 1.
Returns 0 on failure, or if no timeout is currently active.
