          CPU_BOOLEAN NetTCP_ConnCfgIdleTimeout(NET_TCP_CONN_ID      conn_id_tcp,
                                                NET_TCP_TIMEOUT_SEC  timeout_sec,

Arguments

conn_id_tcp

TCP connection handle ID to configure connection handle timeout.

timeout_sec

Desired value for TCP connection idle timeout (in seconds).

perr

Pointer to variable that will receive the return error code from this function:

NET_TCP_ERR_NONE
NET_TCP_ERR_INVALID_ARG
NET_TCP_ERR_INVALID_CONN
NET_TCP_ERR_CONN_NOT_USED
NET_ERR_INIT_INCOMPLETE
NET_OS_ERR_LOCK

Returned Value

DEF_OK,

TCP connection’s idle timeout successfully configured.

DEF_FAIL,

otherwise.

Required Configuration

Available only if TCP is enabled (see TCP Layer Configuration).

Notes / Warnings

Configured timeout does not reschedule any current idle timeout in progress but becomes effective the next time a TCP connection sets its idle timeout.

The conn_id_tcp argument represents the TCP connection handle – not the socket handle. The following code may be used to get the TCP connection handle and configure TCP connection parameters (see also NetSock_GetConnTransportID):



          NET_SOCK_ID     sock_id;
          NET_TCP_CONN_ID conn_id_tcp;
          NET_ERR         err;
           
          sock_id     = Application's TCP socket ID; /* Get application's TCP socket     ID. */
                                                     /* Get socket's      TCP connection ID. */
          conn_id_tcp = (NET_TCP_CONN_ID)NetSock_GetConnTransportID(sock_id, &err);
           
          if (err == NET_SOCK_ERR_NONE) {/* If NO errors, ...                                           */
                                         /* ... configure TCP connection maximum re-transmit threshold. */
              NetTCP_ConnCfgIdleTimeout(conn_id_tcp, 240u, &err);
          }


NetTCP_ConnCfgIdleTimeout() is called by application function(s) and must not be called with the global network lock already acquired. It must block all other network protocol tasks by pending on and acquiring the global network lock (see “net.h Note #3”). This is required since an application's network protocol suite API function access is asynchronous to other network protocol tasks
