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.

#import <CkoSocket.h>

CkoSocket *socket = [[CkoSocket alloc] init];

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

//  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
[socket SleepMs: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 1500]];

//  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Elapsed seconds: ",[socket.ElapsedSeconds intValue]);
