Measure Elapsed Time with the Convenience Timer

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.StartTiming, which starts or restarts the object's convenience timer. The ElapsedSeconds property then reports the whole number of seconds since the call.

Background. This timer is a convenience for measuring durations and does not affect connection behavior or timeouts.

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

    //  Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
    socket.StartTiming()

    //  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
    socket.SleepMs(1500)

    //  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
    fmt.Println("Elapsed seconds: ", socket.ElapsedSeconds())
