          the number of milliseconds specified by period, or until a
          signal is received.

     Return Value
          On successful completion, a long integer indicating the

     Notes
          This function is driven by the system clock, which in most
          cases has a granularity of tens of milliseconds.  This
          function must be linked with the linker option -lx.
