Dear Linux maintainers,
I'm doing :
setsockopt(s, SO_RCVTIMEO, t1 ); // set time-out
t1 on socket while block receiving on it
select(,,, &fd_set_including(s), .., &errs, t2); // block till
receive or time-out t 2 jointly on a set of sockets
Apparently, I could no find reference on the coupled behavior of the two
above statements in Linux documentation.
As I understand the blocking semantics, I would expect that if t1<t2 ,
select should return after t1 with the descriptor 's' in 'errs' if 's' does
not become readable in the t1 interval.
It is not so in life -- select ignores t1 altogether.
Do you have some enlightening knowledge on the matter?
Thanks,
-Shay
