ZCOM C I/F Library Routines

ZRNTIMER (3X)

See the NOTES section below for more information on using this routine in a multi-threaded application.

PARAMETERS
	node Remote node number where timeout is set. A value of zero
		means setting the timeout values for ALL remote nodes.
	time Timeout value in seconds (1-65535). Zero or negative values
		are not allowed.
RETURN VAULE	Routine zrntimer returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, a non-zeroerror
	code is returned. See /opt/acc/include/zcom/zcomsys.h for the list of
	ZCOM error codes and their meanings.
NOTES	Setting the timeout value for the local node will complete without error.
	However, the timeout value will have no effect because ZCOM does not
	timeout local requests (i.e. a program may be suspended forever in order
	to complete its local request).
	An internal table is maintained to keep track of the timeout values for
	each remote node. The table is initialized with the default values defined
	in the TTGEN configuration file. If an unknown node number is
	specified, it is rejected with error -6 (ZENODE).
	In a multi-threaded application, all the threads share the single timeout
	value table. Hence, when a thread sets a node timeout value, the new
	value will be effective in all the other threads.
	Although a timeout value of one (1) is a legal value, a minimum value of
	two (2) is used in order to avoid false alarms because the internal
	timeout processing is activated on 1-second intervals.
