+.TH ARES_TIMEOUT 3 "25 July 1998"
+.SH NAME
+ares_timeout \- return maximum time to wait
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <ares.h>
+
+struct timeval *ares_timeout(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP,
+ struct timeval *\fImaxtv\fP,
+ struct timeval *\fItv\fP)
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBares_timeout(3)\fP function determines the maximum time for which the
+caller should wait before invoking \fIares_process(3)\fP to process timeouts.
+The parameter \fImaxtv\fP specifies a existing maximum timeout, or \fBNULL\fP
+if the caller does not wish to apply a maximum timeout. The parameter
+\fItv\fP must point to a writable buffer of type \fBstruct timeval\fP It is
+valid for \fImaxtv\fP and \fItv\fP to have the same value.
+
+If no queries have timeouts pending sooner than the given maximum timeout,
+\fBares_timeout(3)\fP returns the value of \fImaxtv\fP; otherwise
+\fBares_timeout(3)\fP stores the appropriate timeout value into the buffer
+pointed to by \fItv\fP and returns the value of \fItv\fP.
