.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The io library keeps track of an optional ``timeout'' for each descriptor. The
|
|
|
|
|
timeout is a specific moment in time, stored in a tai6464 variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
io_timeout(\fId\fR,\fIt\fR) sets the timeout for descriptor \fId\fR to \fIt\fR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
io_timeout has no return value; it always succeeds. (Space to store the timeout
|
|
|
|
|
was already allocated as part of the descriptor.) It has no effect if \fId\fR is not
|
|
|
|
|
the number of a descriptor.

Note that you have to call io_timeouted to be notified of timeouts, just
|
|
|
|
|
like you are calling io_canread or io_canwrite for read and write
|
|
|
|
|
notification.
