Method

GioSocketcondition_timed_wait

since: 2.32

Declaration

gboolean
g_socket_condition_timed_wait (
  GSocket* socket,
  GIOCondition condition,
  gint64 timeout_us,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)

Description

Waits for up to timeout_us microseconds for condition to become true on socket. If the condition is met, TRUE is returned.

If cancellable is cancelled before the condition is met, or if timeout_us (or the socket’s GSocket:timeout) is reached before the condition is met, then FALSE is returned and error, if non-NULL, is set to the appropriate value (G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED or G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT).

If you don’t want a timeout, use g_socket_condition_wait(). (Alternatively, you can pass -1 for timeout_us.)

Note that although timeout_us is in microseconds for consistency with other GLib APIs, this function actually only has millisecond resolution, and the behavior is undefined if timeout_us is not an exact number of milliseconds.

Available since: 2.32

Parameters

condition

Type: GIOCondition

A GIOCondition mask to wait for.

timeout_us

Type: gint64

The maximum time (in microseconds) to wait, or -1

cancellable

Type: GCancellable

A GCancellable, or NULL.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the function.
error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the condition was met, FALSE otherwise.
