Another name for Timeout::Error, defined for backwards compatibility with earlier versions of timeout.rb.
Identical to:
Timeout::timeout(n, e, &block).
This method is deprecated and provided only for backwards compatibility. You should use Timeout#timeout instead.
# File timeout.rb, line 98 def timeout(n, e = nil, &block) Timeout::timeout(n, e, &block) end
