<para>This option defines the maximum number of seconds that a
builder can run. This is useful (for instance in a automated
build system) to catch builds that are stuck in an infinite loop
but keep writing to their standard output or standard error. It
can be overriden using the <option
linkend="opt-timeout">--timeout</option> command line
switch.</para>
<para>The value <literal>0</literal> means that there is no
timeout. This is also the default.</para>
