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.

load ./chilkat.dll

set socket [new_CkSocket]

#  Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
CkSocket_StartTiming $socket

#  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
CkSocket_SleepMs $socket 1500

#  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
puts "Elapsed seconds: [CkSocket_get_ElapsedSeconds $socket]"

delete_CkSocket $socket
