Dialog can be initiated with a timer that will close when the number of seconds has expired

--timer (<seconds>)

Replaces default button with a timer countdown after which dialog will close with exit code 4, Default timer value is 10 seconds. Optional value <seconds> can be specified to the desired value. If <seconds> is > 60 the countdown will be rendered in HH:MM:SS format, e.g. 280 seconds will display 4:40 for the initial countdown.

If used in conjuction with --button1text the default button will be displayed but will be disabled for the first 3 seconds of the timer, after which it becomes active and can be used to dismiss dialog with the standard button 1 exit code of 0

--hidetimerbar will hide the progress bar and countdown display.

Doing so forces default button to be visible to prevent un-dismissable dialogs with no indication of when the timer expires.
