connect_timeout

fn connect_timeout(string host, int port, int ms) -> Result<Stream, IoError>

use io::net::tcp::{connect_timeout};

Opens a TCP connection to host on port, giving up after ms milliseconds.

Like connect, but name lookup and every address tried share one deadline of ms milliseconds; when it passes the result is Err(IoError::TimedOut). ms <= 0 waits forever. Needs --allow-net.

Parameters#

Returns#

Result<Stream, IoError>

Examples#

use io::{IoError};
use io::net::tcp::{connect_timeout, listen, local_addr};
use tests::assert;
fn run() -> Result<unit, IoError> {
    let listener = listen("127.0.0.1", 0)?;
    let (_, port) = local_addr(listener)?;
    let _client = connect_timeout("127.0.0.1", port, 1000)?;
    return ();
}

fn main() {
    let ok = match run() {
        Result::Ok(_) => true,
        Result::Err(_) => false,
    };
    assert!(ok);
}
