+  use timeout like this (delay in ms):
+
+  if (timeout(delay,fun(a,b,c))) {
+      printf("timeout occurred\n");
+  }
+  else {
+      ... 
+  }
+
+If the call to fun() has not returned before 'delay' ms, it will be
+interrupted and and timeout() will return a non-zero value.
+
+If fun() finishes before 'delay' ms, then timeout will return 0.
+
+If you need the return value from fun then assign it like this:
+
+  if (timeout(delay,(x = fun(...)))) {
+  }
+
+These functions work by setting and catching SIGALRM, and although it
+saves and restores the signal handler, it may not work in situations
+where you are already using SIGALRM (this includes calls to sleep(3)).
+
+Note that although recursive calls to timeout will not fail, they may
+not give the expected results. All invocations of timeout use the same
+timer, which is set on entrance to timeout and restored on exit from
+timeout. So although an inner call to timeout will restart the timer
+for any pending outer call when it exits, any time that has already
+elapsed against the outer timeout is forgotten. In addition, the alarm
+signal will always go to the innermost (last called) timeout, which
+may or may not be the intention in recursive cases.
