It is more-or-less a lifted version of "System.Timeout" from the @base@ package. It's good for single use, but it launches a temporary helper thread. If you want to time-limit actions continuously (e.g. if you're implementing a network protocol), you should probably use one of the other tools described below, since they use a single dedicated thread for all the timeouts. . * "Control.Timer" - Managing a timer running in a dedicated thread. The timer waits for an amount of time you specify, and then runs an action you specify. You can stop and restart it at any time. . * "Control.Alarm" - Managing an alarm, which is a timer whose action is to notify your thread when the specified amount of time passes. . * "Control.Monad.Trans.Timer" - A monad transformer for managing a timer . * "Control.Monad.Trans.Alarm" - A monad transformer for managing an alarm . * "Control.Monad.Trans.Timeout" - A monad transformer for running actions with timeouts, useful for e.g. network protocols where any send and receive can timeout . * "Control.Monad.Timeout.Class" - A monad typeclass for running actions with a time limit. "Control.Timeout" provides a simple trivial for IO (which can then be used with any @MonadIO@), and "Control.Monad.Trans.Timeout" provides a scalable instance. category: Control, Monad, Time, Timeout author: fr33domlover extra-source-files: AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING INSTALL.md NEWS.md README.md source-repository head type: darcs location: http://hub.darcs.net/fr33domlover/time-out library exposed-modules: Control.Alarm Control.Monad.Timeout.Class Control.Monad.Trans.Alarm Control.Monad.Trans.Timeout Control.Monad.Trans.Timer Control.Timer Control.Timeout build-depends: base >=4.8 && <5, data-default-class >=0.0.1, exceptions >=0.8.2.1, time-interval >=0.1.1, time-units >=1.0.0, transformers >=0.4.2.0 default-language: Haskell2010 hs-source-dirs: src ghc-options: -Wall test-suite test type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: test.hs build-depends: base >=4.8.2.0, time-out >=0.2, time-units >=1.0.0, transformers >=0.4.2.0 default-language: Haskell2010 hs-source-dirs: test
