# == Description
#
# A way of performing a potentially long-running operation in a thread, and terminating
# it's execution if it hasn't finished by a fixed amount of time.
# 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 of timeout didn't provide use a module for namespace. This version
# provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible #timeout.
# Previous versions didn't use a module for namespacing, however
# #timeout is provided for backwards compatibility. You
# should prefer Timeout#timeout instead.

# Executes the method's block. If the block execution terminates before
# +sec+ seconds has passed, it returns the result value of the block.
# If not, it terminates the execution and raises +exception+ (which defaults
# to Timeout::Error).
# Perform an operation in a block, timing it out if it takes longer
# than +sec+ seconds to complete.
#
# 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().
# +sec+:: number of seconds to wait for the block to terminate
# +klass+:: Exception Class to raise if the block fails to terminate
# in +sec+ seconds. Omitting will use the default, Timeout::Error
#
# The block will be executed on another thread and
# will be given one argument: +sec+.
#
# Returns the result of the block *if* the block completed before
# +sec+ seconds, otherwise throws an exception, based on the value of +klass+.
