io_timeout \- set time limit on descriptor

.SH SYNTAX
|
||
|
|
.B #include <io.h>
|
||
|
|

|
|
void \fBio_timeout\fP(int64 fd,tai6464 deadline);
|
||
|
|
.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.
