public synchronized void setSoTimeout( int timeout ) throws SocketException
Description
Enable/disable SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in
milliseconds. With this option set to a non-zero timeout,
a call to receive() for this DatagramSocket
will block for only this amount of time. If the timeout expires,
a java.io.InterruptedIOException is raised, though the
ServerSocket is still valid. The option must be enabled
prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. The
timeout must be > 0.
A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
