Std.Process.waitWithin

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

Wait a bounded time, answering nothing if the program is still running.

What a caller does about a program that is taking too long — wait again,

read more of its output, stop it — is the caller's decision, so this

reports rather than decides.

Read the signature

• The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
• Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
• & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
• Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
• Option holds Some(value) or None when no value is available.
• Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
