Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to abort a read from a socket after some time
elapses. I failed to figure out how to do so.
If the reason you want to abort reading from a socket is because the
socket may not be ready, you could use select(2), which has a timeout
value.
See man 2 select or the corresponding 'select' procedure documented in
the Guile Reference manual.
The poll(2) system call (for details see
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/poll.2.html ....) could be
preferred, and has a simpler timeout (milliseconds). It also can deal
with more (or few, but numerically bigger) file descriptors than select.
So I suggest using poll, not select.
