+ default is 300 seconds. If zero, the timeout is disabled for TCP mode. For UDP mode,
+ the option :option:`-u` takes precedence over this option, unless the option :option:`-u`
+ is set to zero, in which case the interval is computed from the :option:`-t` timeout interval
+ and the number of UDP retries. For UDP mode, the timeout can not be disabled, and will
+ be rounded up to 1 second in case if both :option:`-t` and :option:`-u` are set to zero.
