[GAP Forum] control the execution time of a function

[bolbita]

Dear GAP Forum,

I have little experience with GAP, and I wonder how can we control the execution time of a function.
I dream about a function like
UnderTimeControl := function (f, arg, maxtime)
which would run the function f with arguments arg and a timer in parallel,
and would return the result of f(arg) whenever its execution time is less than maxtime and would return fail 
otherwise.

Thank you very much in advance.

Georges.
