struct timeVal

[Tim Quon]

Hi

I have a function which needs a struct timeVal as timeout parameter.
How can I initialize this struct to a timeout of 3 seconds?

Thanks
Tim

Impossible to tell because you neither tell us how the "struct timeVal"
looks like nor where its layout is documented and what the members of
the structure (whatever they are) are good for.

<OT>
If you mean a "struct timeval", used e.g. in nonstandard function
like gettimeofday() then just set the tv_sec member to 3 and the
tv_usec member to 0.
</OT>
