Note that it's *blocking* read with timeout.

Maybe you tried to define the function template in cpp, without
explicit specialization.
Define your function templates in the header.

What do you mean by saying "return"? The function attempts to read
data to the buffer you suplly, and if the operation doesn't complete
in some time-interval, it throws an exception.
