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.

require 'chilkat'

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

#  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.
print "Elapsed seconds: " + socket.get_ElapsedSeconds().to_s() + "\n";
