Dump the tracebacks of all threads, after a timeout of *timeout* seconds, or
every *timeout* seconds if *repeat* is ``True``. If *exit* is ``True``, call
:c:func:`_exit` with status=1 after dumping the tracebacks. (Note
:c:func:`_exit` doesn't flush file buffers.) If the function is called twice,
the new call replaces previous parameters and resets the timeout. The timer
has a sub-second resolution.
:c:func:`_exit` exits the process immediately, which means it doesn't do any
cleanup like flushing file buffers.) If the function is called twice, the new
call replaces previous parameters and resets the timeout. The timer has a
sub-second resolution.
This function is implemented using a watchdog thread and therefore is not
available if Python is compiled with threads disabled.
