that is a timeout parameter for your wait loop, not entire port. Your
wait function above returns, if:
- event occurs on port 'c, being it timeout (set by port/timeout: 5),
incoming data, port closure by remote site ...
- if nothing happens, those 5 sec in your block causes escape ... so you
are able to process something else in your main loop ...
