Description

With TCP, modbus_connect() returns -1 on timeout, but does not set errno.

The reason seems to be that the timeout is implemented via select(), where a timeout is not considered an error. The offending code is in lines 295–299 of modbus-tcp.c, which look like this:

        rc = select(sockfd + 1, NULL, &wset, NULL, &tv);
        if (rc <= 0) {
            /* Timeout or fail */
            return -1;
        }

Expected behavior or suggestion

errno == ETIMEDOUT
