require'timeout'Timeout
Timeout long-running blocks
require'timeout'status=Timeout::timeout(5){# Something that should be interrupted if it takes more than 5 seconds...}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.
