如何设置connect超时时间

Resolve long timeout when connection target is unavailable

Sometimes, the connect time-out can take too much time when the target is unavailable. To resolve this issue, we can use non-blocking socket mode to select the timeout.

bool connect(char *host,int port, int timeout)  
{  
    TIMEVAL Timeout;  
    Timeout.tv_sec = timeout;  
    Timeout.tv_usec = 0;  
    struct sockaddr_in address;  /* the libc network address data structure */     
   
    sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);  
   
    address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(host); /* assign the address */  
    address.sin_port = htons(port);            /* translate int2port num */   
    address.sin_family = AF_INET;  
   
    //set the socket in non-blocking  
    unsigned long iMode = 1;  
    int iResult = ioctlsocket(sock, FIONBIO, &iMode);  
    if (iResult != NO_ERROR)  
    {     
        printf("ioctlsocket failed with error: %ld\n", iResult);  
    }  
          
    if(connect(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(address))==false)  
    {     
        return false;  
    }     
   
    // restart the socket mode  
    iMode = 0;  
    iResult = ioctlsocket(sock, FIONBIO, &iMode);  
    if (iResult != NO_ERROR)  
    {     
        printf("ioctlsocket failed with error: %ld\n", iResult);  
    }  
   
    fd_set Write, Err;  
    FD_ZERO(&Write);  
    FD_ZERO(&Err);  
    FD_SET(sock, &Write);  
    FD_SET(sock, &Err);  
   
    // check if the socket is ready  
    select(0,NULL,&Write,&Err,&Timeout);              
    if(FD_ISSET(sock, &Write))   
    {     
        return true;  
    }  
   
    return false;  
}
