    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB_ENV->get_timeout(DB_ENV *dbenv, db_timeout_t *timeoutp,
        u_int32_t flag);

The `DB_ENV->get_timeout()` method returns a value, in microseconds, representing either lock or transaction timeouts. These values are set using the DB_ENV->set_timeout() method.

The `DB_ENV->get_timeout()` method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The `DB_ENV->get_timeout()` method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

#### timeoutp

The timeoutp parameter references memory into which the timeout value of the specified flag parameter is copied.

#### flag

The flags parameter must be set to one of the following values:

- `DB_SET_LOCK_TIMEOUT`

  Return the timeout value for locks in this database environment.

- `DB_SET_REG_TIMEOUT`

  Return the timeout value for how long to wait for processes to exit the environment before recovery is started. This flag only has meaning when the DB_ENV->open() method was called with the DB_REGISTER flag and recovery must be performed.
