26 and is not ignored. The function returns the number of seconds less
27 than SECONDS which it actually slept (zero if it slept the full time).
28 If a signal handler does a `longjmp' or modifies the handling of the
29 SIGALRM signal while inside `sleep' call, the handling of the SIGALRM
30 signal afterwards is undefined. There is no return value to indicate
31 error, but if `sleep' returns SECONDS, it probably didn't work. */
