a question about a timer

[QQ]

Hello I am writing server and client program.
The client sends a packet to the server, after certain time,
if the client fails to receive the response from the server,
it need to abort this message.

I am a beginner, so I don't know how to set up a timer
and implement this function.

I will really appreciate if you can tell me where to get this
kind of information.

This cannot be accomplished in standard C, the topic of this newsgroup.
You will need to find a group dedicated to your platform. If you are
working in UNIX, then comp.unix.programmer would be a good place to
start.
