Apologies for this off-topic post. Pls point me elsewhere if there's a more suitable list. I'm using sendto and rcvfrom to handle a UDP connection to a remote host. I send a msg using sendto, and then wait for a reply using recvfrom, but I would like to be able to rapidly timeout the rcvfrom if the remote host is down. The async I/O set of commands aio_* offer what looks like the perfect solution, but they require that I use aio_read and aio_write (equivalent to read(2) and write(2) ) rather than sendto/recvfrom. I'd rather not sit in a loop waiting for a reply with non-blocking I/O enabled. I'd much prefer to use blocking I/O and have the recvfom come back to me either when the input has completed, or it has timed out. Any suggestions how I might achieve this?
