Sorry, but stackoverflow is *not* a good source to cite when talking
about POSIX standard.

Instead, I prefer to search opengroup.com and on the 'setsockopt' page
google gives me
(https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/setsockopt.html),
I find this in the description of SO_RCVTIMEO:

"The default for this option is zero, which indicates that a receive
operation shall not time out."

BTW, even the stackoverflow page you cited says: "If the timeout is set
to zero (the default) then the operation will never timeout".
