I have the following code:
// nbrecv(): Receive data on non-blocking socket w/timeout
// using Select()
// sock = (input) socket to receive data from
// buf = (output) buffer to receive into (address of variable)
// size = (input) size of buffer to send (size of variable)
// secs = (input) seconds to wait before timing out
//
// Returns length received, or -1 upon failure (check errno!)
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
P nbrecv B export
D nbrecv pi 10i 0
D sock 10i 0 value
D buf * value
D size 10i 0 value
D secs 10p 3 value

D readset s like(fdset)
D timeout ds likeds(timeval)
D err s 10i 0 based(p_err)
D rc s 10i 0

/free

p_err = sys_errno();

dow '1';

rc = recv(sock: buf: size: 0);
if (rc <> -1);
return rc;
endif;
if (err <> EWOULDBLOCK);
return rc;
endif;

// -----------------------------------
// Wait until socket is readable
// -----------------------------------

FD_ZERO(readset);
FD_SET(sock: readset);
timeout.tv_sec = %int(secs);
timeout.tv_usec = (secs - timeout.tv_sec) * 1000000;

rc = select( sock+1 // descriptor count
: %addr(readset) // read set
: *null // write set
: *null // exception set
: %addr(timeout) ); // timeout
select;
when rc = 0;
err = ETIME;
return -1;
when rc = -1;
return -1;
endsl;

enddo;
/end-free
P E

I am passing a value of 60 for the wait time.
Is this routine correct?
shouldn't the set of the wait time come first?
