- # = Description
- #
- # A way of performing a potentially long-running operation in a thread, and
- # terminating it's execution if it hasn't finished within fixed amount of
- # time.
- #
- # Previous versions of timeout didn't use a module for namespace. This version
- # provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible #timeout.
- #
- # = Synopsis
- #
- # require 'timeout'
- # status = Timeout::timeout(5) {
- # # Something that should be interrupted if it takes too much time...
- # }
- #
-
- module Timeout
-
- ##
- # Raised by Timeout#timeout when the block times out.
-
- class Error<Interrupt
- end
-
- ##
- # Executes the method's block. If the block execution terminates before +sec+
- # seconds has passed, it returns true. If not, it terminates the execution
- # and raises +exception+ (which defaults to Timeout::Error).
- #
- # Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can 'include
- # Timeout' into your classes so they have a #timeout method, as well as a
- # module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().
