Timeout long-running blocks
Synopsis
Example
require 'timeout' status = Timeout::timeout(5) { # Something that should be interrupted if it takes more than 5 seconds... }
Description
Timeout provides a way to auto-terminate a potentially long-running operation if it hasn’t finished in a fixed amount of time.
Previous versions didn’t use a module for namespacing, however timeout is provided for backwards compatibility. You should prefer Timeout.timeout instead.
