Hello
Just looking at this man page. I appreciate not the latest version. GNU
coreutils 8.32
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/timeout.1.html
Could it be clarified that a timeout DURATION of 0 also specifically inhibits
the -k, --kill-after=DURATION ?
it's implied as "this long after the initial signal was sent", so I'm
suggesting to make it clearer.
ie
$ time timeout -k 2 0 sleep 3
real 0m3.005s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.000s
Maybe it could be updated:
-k, --kill-after=DURATION
also send a KILL signal if COMMAND is still running
this long after the initial signal was sent. This
never occurs if the initial signal was inhibited by a
duration of 0
Cheers, Jonny
