Human-readable timeouts (callback-timeout-flexible + timestring-notsep)

API

This module exports one function:

hrtmo(opts)

opts is an options object that supports these keys:

• limit (required): Either false to immediately return false, or a timespan (as string).
• cb: Your callback, for delivery of the TimeoutError if triggered.
• all other options supported by callback-timeout-flexible that aren't about timespans.

Quick recap from CTF

The result is not an opaque timer ID or timer object, but instead a callback function that can be used to decide the outcome early.

cb will carry a timeout property that holds the timeout control object (TCO), which in turn has methods like .renew() and .abandon().

Known issues

• Needs more/better tests and docs.
