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.

func chilkatTest() {
    let socket = CkoSocket()!

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

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

    //  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
    print("Elapsed seconds: \(socket.elapsedSeconds.intValue)")
