Could the 124 and 137 be documented on the man page?
What's wrong with the last paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section?
Andreas.
My mistake missing that. But could the 137 be listed explicitly?
ie.
"It may be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught, in which case the exit status is
137 (128+9) rather than 124."
This other man page of timeout has a clearer list of the exit codes
