From afa53c8df7253e5aa5cd4ab80494b2f106a33481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Add the '-t timeout' option to the 'read' builtin.  This
 allows the 'read' command to return an error if the user fails to supply any
 input withink a given time period.  The behaviour of this option is similar
 to that of the like-named option in ksh93.
