Bug Description
Binary package hint: usplash
usplash could take a new command INPUTTIMEOUT, with this syntax:
# usplash_write "INPUTTIMEOUT <seconds> message"
that behave like INPUT, but goes on with no effects if no input where supplied within <seconds> seconds...
a patch is already available in:

This does not quite seem to work at all for me:
(sudo usplash -c -x 800 -y 600 -v &); sleep 1; sudo usplash_write "INPUTTIMEOUT 3 hello"; sudo usplash_write "TEXT-URGENT timeout"; sleep 1; sudo usplash_write QUIT
I did start usplash in verbose mode already. I do not see 'hello' and it does not wait 3 seconds for me either.
Also, the patch needs some documentation. Can you please add the new command to README and the usplash_timeout(8) manpage? Thank you!
