2023-11-03timeout(1): align execvp(3) failure statuses with GNU timeoutScott Soule Cheloha
Align our exit statuses with those of GNU timeout in the execvp(3) failure case. Exit with 127 if the utility is not found. Exit with 126 if we cannot execute the utility for any other reason. While here, the child should _exit(2) instead of calling exit(3) via err(3). Update the manpage accordingly. With input from millert@ and deraadt@.

2023-01-12diff from sobrado to use a full argument name for -s: after some discussionJason McIntyre
we used "signal", as per pkill/pgrep; also lift the descriptive text from kill.1 to clarify that both signal name and number are accepted; ok sobrado job

2022-12-22Denote multiple arguments with 'arg ...' not 'args'Klemens Nanni
A few programs used the plural in their synopsis which doesn't read as clear as the obvious triple-dot notation. mdoc(7) .Ar defaults to "file ..." if no arguments are given and consistent use of 'arg ...' matches that behaviour. Cleanup a few markups of the same argument so the text keeps reading naturally; omit unhelpful parts like 'if optional arguments are given, they are passed along' for tools like time(1) and timeout(1) that obviously execute commands with whatever arguments where given -- just like doas(1) which doesn't mention arguments in its DESCRIPTION in the first place. For expr(1) the difference between 'expressions' and 'expression ...' is crucial, as arguments must be passed as individual words. Feedback millert jmc schwarze deraadt OK jmc
2022-07-02Make -s accept HUP like kill(1) and GNU timeout(1) doKlemens Nanni
timeout.c's parse_signal() basically does what kill.c's signame_to_num() does, except it expects "SIG" in string signals. Borrow the isalpha() check from kill.c to get the same behaviour. OK deraadt

options from SYNOPSIS/usage; diff from leon fischer the opening sentence is mine - i say that not to take credit, just to distinguish that leon did not agree with wording

there is no need to check if the return value is -1. just unconditionally call err(3). ok deraadt@ schwarze@
