Description Michel Lavondes 2004-05-05 18:10:24 UTC 
The text (_foo_ means foo is emphasized /highlighted): 

  If the _interval_ argument is non-zero, the SIGALRM signal will be
  sent to the process every _interval_ microseconds after the timer
  expires (e.g. after _value_ microseconds have passed).

should probably read:

  If the _interval_ argument is non-zero, the SIGALRM signal will be
  sent to the process every _interval_ microseconds after the timer
  expires (e.g. after _microseconds_ have passed).

(ie, "microseconds", not "value", is the argument name.)

The issue was fixed in -CURRENT.  However, I chose to apply 
the wording from OpenBSD. 
1. to stay at least a bit in sync 
2. because i liked it better :-) 

Thanks for the submission!

bde@ had some comments about the original commit that I haven't gotten
around to take care about yet.  That's why the MFC hasn't happened and
the PR is still open.
