I disagree, Linux is one of the few OS' that select works as it
should. The timeval structure is modified according to the elapsed
time in the select call.
From man: "On exit, select indicates file descriptors that have
become available by modifying readfds, writefds, and
exceptfds in place. Timeout is also updated to reflect the
amount of time remaining."
