Are there any other c timeout functions for use in linux other than the select function for sockets programming.

I cant seem to set the timeout value less than 5 milli seconds or 5000 microseconds.
select(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,&delay_val)

Are there any changes I could make to the operating system to remedy this. I am using red hat linux v7.3.

You could call [tt]ioctl[/tt] to see if there is any input available. I don't remember the exact syntax used, but it was posted in this forum a month or two ago. The person posting it could probably post it again ;-) //Daniel
