io_timeout(3)		   Library Functions Manual		 io_timeout(3)

NAME
       io_timeout - set	time limit on descriptor

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/io.h>

       void io_timeout(int64 fd,tai6464	deadline);

DESCRIPTION
       The io library keeps track of an	optional ``timeout'' for each descrip-
       tor.  The  timeout  is  a  specific moment in time, stored in a tai6464
       variable.

       io_timeout(d,t) sets the	timeout	for descriptor d to t.

       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 ef-
       fect if d 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.
