[vlc-devel] timeout on input (select(), read(), poll() timeout?)

[Georgi Chorbadzhiyski]

Hi guys, I've asked in user ML but nobody seems to know the solution
to the problem. The problem was:

I've tried to find how to set timeout for select and/or socket read
functions. I see that parameter exists but I can't find where the
functions are called and if timeout parameter is exposed as command
line option somewhere.

I can post testcase if you need it.
