No, it doesn't. A socket may be non-blocking without having a timeout;
that's the socket API (on all systems, not just BSD).

What specific wording are you looking at that makes you believe so?
To me, the phrase
# A socket object can be in one of three modes: blocking, non-blocking,
# or timeout
suggests otherwise.
