TimeoutHandler (bitcoinj-core 0.17-alpha5 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTimeoutHandler, Peer, PeerSocketHandler, SocketTimeoutTask
```
public interface TimeoutHandler
```
Provides basic support for socket timeouts. It is used instead of integrating timeouts into the NIO select thread both for simplicity and to keep code shared between NIO and blocking sockets as much as possible.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description

- Method Detail
  - setTimeoutEnabled
```
void setTimeoutEnabled(boolean timeoutEnabled)
```
    Enables or disables the timeout entirely. This may be useful if you want to store the timeout value but wish to temporarily disable/enable timeouts.
    
    The default is for timeoutEnabled to be true but timeout to be set to 0 (ie disabled).
    
    This call will reset the current progress towards the timeout.
  - setSocketTimeout
```
void setSocketTimeout(java.time.Duration timeout)
```
    Sets the receive timeout, automatically killing the connection if no messages are received for this long
    
    A timeout of Duration.ZERO is interpreted as no timeout.
    
    The default is for timeoutEnabled to be true but timeout to be set to Duration.ZERO (ie disabled).
    
    This call will reset the current progress towards the timeout.
