-.Dt SLEEP 3
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm sleep
-.Nd suspend thread execution for an interval measured in seconds
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libc
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In unistd.h
-.Ft unsigned int
-.Fn sleep "unsigned int seconds"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn sleep
-function suspends execution of the calling thread until either
-.Fa seconds
-seconds have elapsed or a signal is delivered to the thread and its
-action is to invoke a signal-catching function or to terminate the
-thread or process.
-System activity may lengthen the sleep by an indeterminate amount.
-.Pp
-This function is implemented using
-.Xr nanosleep 2
-by pausing for
-.Fa seconds
-seconds 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.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-If the
-.Fn sleep
-function returns because the requested time has elapsed, the value
-returned will be zero.
-If the
-.Fn sleep
-function returns due to the delivery of a signal, the value returned
-will be the unslept amount (the requested time minus the time actually
-slept) in seconds.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr nanosleep 2 ,
-.Xr usleep 3
-.Sh STANDARDS
-The
-.Fn sleep
-function conforms to
-.St -p1003.1-90 .
-.Sh HISTORY
-A
-.Fn sleep
-function appeared in
-.At v7 .
