RpcMgmtSetCancelTimeout function (rpcdce.h)

The RpcMgmtSetCancelTimeout function sets the lower bound on the time to wait before timing out after forwarding a cancel.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcMgmtSetCancelTimeout(
  long Timeout
);

Parameters

Timeout

Seconds to wait for a server to acknowledge a cancel command. To specify that a client waits an indefinite amount of time, supply the value RPC_C_CANCEL_INFINITE_TIMEOUT.

Return value

Remarks

An application calls the RpcMgmtSetCancelTimeout function to reset the amount of time the run-time library waits for a server to acknowledge a cancel. The application specifies either to wait forever or to wait a specified length of time in seconds. If the value of Seconds is 0 (zero), the call is immediately abandoned upon a cancel command and control returns to the client application. The default value is RPC_C_CANCEL_INFINITE_TIMEOUT, which specifies waiting indefinitely for the call to complete.

The value for the cancel command time-out applies to all remote procedure calls made in the current thread. To change the time-out value, a multithreaded client must call this function in each thread of execution.
