This command is implemented by activating an alarm at procedure
|
||||
entry. If the timer expires before the goal completes, the alarm will
|
||||
through an exception @var{timeout}.
|

throw an exception @var{timeout}.
|

One should note that @code{time_out/3} is not reentrant, that is, a goal
|
||||
called from @code{time_out} should never itself call
|
||||
@t{time_out}. Moreover, @code{time_out/3} will deactivate any previous
|
||||
@code{time_out/3}. Moreover, @code{time_out/3} will deactivate any previous
|
||||
alarms set by @code{alarm/3} and vice-versa, hence only one of these
|
||||
calls should be used in a program.
