+          specifies the maximum time to wait for method call

+          seconds. The usual other units are understood, too (ms, us,
+          s, min, h, d, w, month, y). Note that this timeout does not
+          apply if <option>--expect-reply=no</option> is used as the
+          tool does not wait for any reply message then. When not
