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` 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.
