get_timeout

Gets the timeout.

long get_timeout(lprec *lp);

Return Value

get_timeout returns the number of seconds after which a timeout occurs.

Parameters

Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_lpt, read_LPT, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI

Remarks

The get_timeout function returns a timeout in seconds. The solve and lag_solve functions may not last longer than this time or the routines return with a timeout. There is no valid solution at this time. The default timeout is 0, resulting in no timeout.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lp_lib.h"

int main(void)
{
  lprec *lp;
  long timeout;

  /* Create a new LP model */
  lp = make_lp(0, 0);
  if(lp == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
    return(1);
  }

  timeout = get_timeout(lp); /* will return 0 since no timeout was set */

  delete_lp(lp);
  return(0);
}
