  // will block until action is possible, else will wait until the
  // relative time specified in *<timeout> elapses).  If <recv> blocks
  // for longer than <timeout> the number of bytes actually read is
  // returned with <errno == ETIME>.  If a timeout does not occur,
  // <recv_n> return <len> (i.e., the number of bytes requested to be

  // the close to avoid losing data).
