            Bug ID: 17459
           Summary: Manual doesn't mention that timeout argument of select
                    can be modified
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual

In the "Waiting for I/O" node of the manual (which is in the manual/llio.texi
file), in the description of the "select" function, it is mentioned that you
can timeout waiting for input or output by passing a pointer to a struct
timeval object to "select". However, it doesn't say that select can overwrite
this object. This led to a problem when I tried to reuse the struct timeval
object in a loop with a select call.
