<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p><code>ALARM(SECONDS, HANDLER [, STATUS])</code> causes external subroutine <var>HANDLER</var>
|
to be executed after a delay of <var>SECONDS</var> by using <code>alarm(2)</code> to
|
set up a signal and <code>signal(2)</code> to catch it. If <var>STATUS</var> is
|
supplied, it will be returned with the number of seconds remaining until
|
any previously scheduled alarm was due to be delivered, or zero if there
|
was no previously scheduled alarm.
