I need a timeout after 8sec if no data comes in from the serial port.
Where can i get articles on the time functions?

For general information on clocks and timers, I recommend Chapter 3 of Rob
Krten’s book “Geting Started with QNX Neutrino2” (www.parse.com)

You are in luck, this particular chapter is available as a free sample
chapter online at:
www.parse.com/books/book_v3/sample.html

But for your specific requirement I would look at the readcond() function -
I suspect this is all you need.
