I don't have a good answer for that yet, mostly because TCP reads are expected to be done through std.Io.Reader which isn't aware of timeouts.

What I envision is something like `asyncio.timeout` in Python, where you start a timeout and let the code run as usual. If it's in I/O sleep when the timeout fires, it will get woken up and the operation gets canceled.

I see something like this:

    var timeout: zio.Timeout = .init;
    defer timeout.cancel(rt);

    timeout.set(rt, 10);
    const n = try reader.interface.readVec(&data);

Are you working using Zig master with the new Io interface passed around, by the way?

No, I'm targeting Zig 0.15. The new Io interface is not in master yet, it's still evolving. When it's merged to master and stable, I'll start implementing the vtable. But I'm just passing Runtime around, instead of Io. So you can easily migrate code from zio to std when it's released.
