Minor, grammar-related question:

+Upon timeout send the TERM signal to COMMAND, if no other SIGNAL specified.\n\
_______________^
s/timeout/&,/ ?

I stumbled upon this sentence a couple of times - shouldn't there be a comma?
The word 'timeout' could be a regular noun, a verb, or in this special case
the name of the tool, so I had to read the first half several times.
But maybe it's only me as a non-native English speaker - commas are much
cheaper over here. ;-)

When writing --help we tend to be space limited,
so I tend to write with punctuation mainly as disambiguation.
But indeed it is better to add the comma there, and we have space.
