* @brief Contains the values of options used to determine the
* synchronous and asynchronous behavior.
*
- * Values support the following behavior (TV == "timeout"
- * and UR == "use ACE_Reactor"):
+ * The supported set of options is depicted in the following table.
+ * The Reactor column indicates whether or not the USE_REACTOR option is
+ * supplied.
+ * The Timeout column specifies the period of time specified by the object;
+ * Unused implies that USE_TIMEOUT is not included in the options and the
+ * default timeout value, ACE_Time_Value::zero, is specified, either
+ * explicitly or by default.
*
- * <CODE>
- * | Parameters | Description
- * |
- * |TV | UR |
- * |-----|----------|-------------------------------
- * | |
- * |NULL | yes | infinite timeout (using ACE_Reactor)
- * | |
- * |time | yes | try asynch transaction for
- * | | the specified time (using ACE_Reactor)
- * | |
- * |0,0 | yes | poll; try, if EWOULDBLOCK,
- * | | then return immediately
- * | | (using ACE_Reactor)
- * | |
- * |NULL | no | block forever (don't use ACE_Reactor)
- * | |
- * |time | no | do a blocking transaction
- * | | for the specified time
- * | | (don't use ACE_Reactor)
- * | |
- * |0,0 | no | poll; but do not initiate a
- * | | nonblocking transaction
