I am writing a client-server program in c++ in linux. I want a functionality in my server that when server is waiting for some response from client, it should not wait indefinitely. But if no response is received say within 30 secs from client, it should disconnect the client. Is there any inbuilt function. Please help.

> man setsockopt
Or if you are not on Unix, see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=setsockopt&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE&format=html
And then look for the option SO_RCVTIMEO
