timeout

Overview ¶

Package timeout implements the `timeout` built-in.

Usage:

timeout [OPTIONS] DURATION COMMAND [ARG]...

Options:

-s, --signal=SIG       signal to send on timeout (recorded but
                       not delivered — no real signals)
-k, --kill-after=DUR   send KILL after DUR if process is still
                       running (also a no-op)
--preserve-status      return COMMAND's status even on timeout
--help                 show this help and exit

On timeout, exits 124 (matching GNU timeout). The COMMAND is dispatched via Context.Exec so it runs through the same runtime pipeline (limits, registry, stdio) as the caller.
