epoll and timeouts

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how to use epoll, and the part that I am
missing is how to set timeouts for individual sockets. I can see that
the timeout can be set in the epoll_wait, but it doesn't seem good
enough sinse different sockets are added to the epoll at different
time. Also I can't see anything among events that would be associated
with the timeout.

So where do I look next?

Thanks in advance for any advise.

Regards,
Arkadiy
