nonblocking read

[Pawel Kot]

Hi,

gnokii uses:
if (select(...) > 0)
  read(...);
sequence to read from the file descriptor.  In case of bluetooth
connection there may happen that gnokii/xgnokii/whatever is running
and sending requests and then suddenly gets out of range. So what
happenes there is that select() returns 1 and read() hands. Is there a
way to make it timeout after some time not breaking other stuff?

I tried http://tfuj.pl/gnokii/nonblockingsocket.patch but it makes
open() not working well (open() in our case should be blocking).

take care,
pkot
