-l (lowercase L)
Set a timeout for the lookup V8.12 and later
When doing a lookup, the -l switch sets a time limit for how
long to wait for a reply:
-l5
Note that the limit is not a general time expression
(that is, 15m
still evaluates to 15 seconds).
Also note that this -l switch is not available for all
database-map types. As of this writing, it is
available only with the ldap and ph database-map types.
