Socket communication and timer application
tcp communication application
i have an application which run in

1)
while()
{in

}
and listens for some request
When a request comes to create a file(containing some data fetch from somewhere)
but i also want to start some timer that after 10/20 min delete that file
But i don't know how to create such timer

2)
Also
now i want to open listening socket (with some other application).this socket will continue listening for alarms send by that application and forward it to other application

but this should not be blocking as the alarm comes it should forward it . this should not be blocking because it will block the other portion of code until and unless it recieves alarm

I read about select . Can it be used in this scenario

It will be great if some body helps me out

sdl_settimer

SDL_SetTimer(3) 						 SDL API Reference						   SDL_SetTimer(3)

NAME

       SDL_SetTimer - Set a callback to run after the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed.

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL.h"

       int SDL_SetTimer(Uint32 interval, SDL_TimerCallback callback);

CALLBACK

       /* Function prototype for the timer callback function */ typedef Uint32 (*SDL_TimerCallback)(Uint32 interval);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  a  callback  to run after the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed. The callback function is passed the current timer interval
       and returns the next timer interval. If the returned value is the same as the one passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a  new
       alarm is scheduled.

       To cancel a currently running timer, call SDL_SetTimer(0, NULL);

       The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your main constant, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.

       The  maximum  resolution  of this timer is 10 ms, which means that if you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
       later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you  might  set  a
       timer for 30 ms (see example below).

       If you use this function, you need to pass SDL_INIT_TIMER to SDL_Init().

	      Note:

	      This  function  is  kept for compatibility but has been superseded by the new timer functions SDL_AddTimer and SDL_RemoveTimer which
	      support multiple timers.

EXAMPLES

       SDL_SetTimer((33/10)*10, my_callback);
