Spelling mistake, right?

[Paul Dixon]

TIMEOUT is a reserved word in the compiler. It's not uncommon to vary the spelling to avoid conflicts with reserved words.

[Michael Mayerhoffer]

No it is not.


timeval is a structure


and Tymeout is the variable usage for the structure


Tymeout as timeval

Tymeout.tv_sec
Tymeout.tv_usec

TYPE timeval
tv_sec AS LONG ' seconds
tv_usec AS LONG ' and microseconds
END TYPE

Added:

Sorry I interchange structure and type - one in the same thing.

wr'itefds I would guess is a typo should be writefds
