========

Wrap asynchronous calls with a timeout checker to prevent them from hanging indefinitely

### Example

```js

var timesUp = require('times-up');

function asyncFunc(callback) {

  setTimeout(function () {

  	console.log('Some process in the future.');

  	callback(null, 'done', 42);

  }, 2000);

}

asyncFunc(timesUp('asyncFunc', 1000, function (err, res0, res1) {

  if (err) {

  	throw err;

  } else {

  	console.log('Res: '+res0+', '+res1);

  }

}));

```

Outputs

```sh

$ node app.js 

/tmp/bar/app.js:12

  	throw err;

  	      ^

Error: Method asyncFunc timed out (1000ms)

    at null._onTimeout (/tmp/bar/node_modules/times-up/times-up.js:32:18)

    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:110:15)

```

Because `times-up` timeout is set to `1000ms` and `asyncFunc()` waits for `2000ms`
