Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn usleep "useconds_t microseconds"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn usleep
|
|
function suspends execution of the calling process until either
|
|
.Fa microseconds
|
|
microseconds have elapsed or a signal is delivered to the process and its
|
|
action is to invoke a signal-catching function or to terminate the
|
|
process.
|
|
System activity may lengthen the sleep by an indeterminate amount.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function is implemented using
|
|
.Xr nanosleep 2
|
|
by pausing for
|
|
.Fa microseconds
|
|
microseconds or until a signal occurs.
|
|
Consequently, in this implementation,
|
|
sleeping has no effect on the state of process timers,
|
|
and there is no special handling for SIGALRM.
|
|

|

.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
A signal was delivered to the process and its
