According to the docstring, I'd expect this expression to finish in 1
second and return t:
(progn
(start-process-shell-command "sleep" "*sleep-command*"
"sleep 1; echo abc")
(accept-process-output nil 2 nil))
But it takes 2 seconds instead and returns nil.
This one, with the process explicitly passed in, behaves like expected:
(progn
(start-process-shell-command "sleep" "*sleep-command*"
"sleep 1; echo abc")
(accept-process-output (get-buffer-process "*sleep-command*") 2))
Any idea what I'm doing wrong in the first example?
