Method: Curses.timeout=

Defined in:
ext/curses/curses.c

.timeout=(delay) ⇒ Object

Sets block and non-blocking reads for the window.

  • If delay is negative, blocking read is used (i.e., waits indefinitely for input).

  • If delay is zero, then non-blocking read is used (i.e., read returns ERR if no input is waiting).

  • If delay is positive, then read blocks for delay milliseconds, and returns ERR if there is still no input.
