RE: tv_sec on smsc_at2

[Oded Arbel]

usec is microseconds. select will wait for 1/1000 of a second and if it timed out (and got back -1 and an EAGAIN errno) it will return w/o doing anything. read the select man page. if you are sure that read_buffer() does not return then I guess there is something seriously wrong with your glibc implementation. what are you running this on ?   -- Oded Arbel m-Wise mobile solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED]   +972-9-9581711 (116) +972-67-340014   ::..
