runlim: Limit real-time to an upper bound (in seconds).
$ runlim --real-time-limit=${number} ${command} ${command_arguments}
try on your machine

The command "runlim" is used to limit the resources (such as CPU time, memory, etc.) used by another command.

In this specific command format, the flag "--real-time-limit" is used to limit the real-time execution time of the command being executed. The "${number}" placeholder is used to specify the time limit in seconds. For example, if ${number} is equal to 10, it means that the command being executed should be limited to using real-time resources for a maximum of 10 seconds.

The "${command}" placeholder represents the actual command to be executed with resource limits. For example, it could be the name of an executable file or a system command.

The "${command_arguments}" placeholder represents any arguments or options that need to be passed to the command being executed. These could be the inputs or additional settings required by the command.

Overall, this command is used to execute another command while imposing a limit on its real-time execution time using the "runlim" utility.
