- * A receive timeout for a socket:
- *
- * It seems that asio cannot have timeouts with synchronous io.
- * However, we can implement a polling loop that will timeout.
- * This is okay bacause this is the slow-path implementation.
- *
+ * Wait for available data or timeout.
  * \param socket the asio socket
- * \param timeout_ms the timeout in milliseconds
+ * \param timeout the timeout in seconds
+ * \return false for timeout, true for data
