Description
Hi, thanks for making this amazing software.
When running termux-location with location turned off (and the termux-api location permission turned on), the process locks up for several seconds. I would have expected it to fail.
I'm using Android 7.1.2.
EDIT: Running termux-location -r last yields the expected result (failing). Is the difference between the arguments to this option documented somewhere?

Research direction
Start at the termux-location entry point and compare the default request with termux-location -r last, which the issue reports as failing correctly. Trace the location-disabled path on Android 7.1.2 and check where the option behavior is documented; done means the default command fails promptly when location is off and the argument difference is documented.
