+.Dt SLEEP 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sleep
+.Nd suspend execution for an interval of seconds
+.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 at least the
+given number of
+.Fa seconds
+have elapsed or an unmasked signal is delivered to the calling thread.
+.Pp
+This version of
+.Fn sleep
+is implemented with
+.Xr nanosleep 2 ,
+so delivery of any unmasked signal will terminate the sleep early,
+even if
+.Dv SA_RESTART
+is set with
+.Xr sigaction 2
+for the interrupting signal.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If
+.Fn sleep
+sleeps for the full count of
+.Fa seconds ,
+it returns 0.
+Otherwise,
+.Fn sleep
+returns the number of seconds remaining from the original request.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn sleep
+function sets
+.Va errno
+to
+.Dv EINTR
+if it is interrupted by the delivery of a signal.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr sleep 1 ,
+.Xr nanosleep 2 ,
+.Xr sigaction 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn sleep
+function conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2008 .
+.Pp
+Setting
+.Va errno
+is an extension to that specification.
+.Sh HISTORY
+A
+.Fn sleep
+system call first appeared in
+.At v2 .
+In
+.At v7 ,
+it was removed and replaced by a C library implementation based on
+.Xr signal 3
+and
+.Xr alarm 3 .
+For
+.Ox 2.1 ,
+it was reimplemented as a wrapper around the
+.Xr nanosleep 2
+system call.
