Author Topic: timeout when receiving (Read 3850 times)

When a (Udp)Socket is on blocking mode, is there a way to set a timeout when receiving?
The only way I currently see is using a SocketSelector around it to wait with a timeout.

I think it's the only way to do it (I mean with SFML).

Well it's ok, it's just a little strange to use a multiplexer when I just need to wait for one socket.

Also, what does this mean on the udp receive function taking a packet?

It's not relevant anymore, I should remove this line from the documentation.
