tnet_set_delay

#include <net_config.h>

void tnet_set_delay (
    U16 dly );    /* Length of time to wait. */

The tnet_set_delay function ensures that the telnet server does not call the tnet_process_cmd function until a certain time period expires. After the time interval, the telnet server can call the tnet_process_cmd function. The argument dly specifies the time period to wait, in number of timer ticks.

The tnet_set_delay function is in the RL-TCPnet library. The prototype is defined in net_config.h.

note

• For example, when monitoring an input channel, you can call the tnet_set_delay function from the tnet_process_cmd to continuously update the telnet client screen every 2 seconds. Pressing a key on the remote telnet client stops the monitoring process.
