+Specify the receiving or sending timeouts until reporting an error. 
+The argument is a struct timeval. 
+If an input or output function blocks for this period of time, 
+and data has been sent or received, 
+the return value of that function will be the amount of data transferred; 
+if no data has been transferred and the timeout has been reached then -1 is returned 
+with errno set to EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK, or EINPROGRESS (for connect(2)) just as if the socket was specified to be nonblocking.
+ If the timeout is set to zero (the default) then the operation will never timeout. 
+ Timeouts only have effect for system calls that perform socket I/O (e.g., read(2), recvmsg(2), send(2), sendmsg(2)); 
+ timeouts have no effect for select(2), poll(2), epoll_wait(2), and so on.
