That's approximately right. I don't believe that we defined whether setting the timeout to NULL will cancel any currently pending timeouts. That is, if the timeout has already fired, and the corresponding event is active, I don't know that we've defined whether setting the timeout to NULL will cancel the callback or not. It might be reasonable to define this, and define the answer to "yes" -- it's a reasonable thing to want. yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
