In this very instance having a variable is pointless since there is only a single time(0) call in the whole function.

There actually is (and I neglected the fact in v1) - the C standard only defines time_t as a signed type which can be either an integer type or even a float, but nothing else. Since there isn't a type formatter for time_t, compilers and coverity might complain in the future about signedness again (I'm especially worried about scanf given its nature).

with unsigned long long because it's always predictable and always 64bit. To me storing the timeout as something else than time_t with enough bit space seems like a better solution.
