Couple of notes from me...

dData align is not a straightforward thing so a description is definitely
helpful here. Please add one

It would be nice to have a suffix in the time parameter. I would do timeout_us.
We should also document/define what happens if 0 is passed. Should we accept it?
Should we block indefinitely? For starters, I would likely not accept 0.
