+.SH VERSIONS
+On Linux,
+.BR sleep ()
+is implemented via
+.BR nanosleep (2).
+See the
+.BR nanosleep (2)
+man page for a discussion of the clock used.
+.P
+On some systems,
+.BR sleep ()
+may be implemented using
+.BR alarm (2)
+and
+.B SIGALRM
+(POSIX.1 permits this);
+mixing calls to
+.BR alarm (2)
+and
+.BR sleep ()
+is a bad idea.
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH CAVEATS
+Using
+.BR longjmp (3)
+from a signal handler or modifying the handling of
+.B SIGALRM
+while sleeping will cause undefined results.
