The .I interval argument follows the syntax described in .BR PCPIntro (1) for .B \-t, and in the simplest form may be an unsigned integer or floating point constant (the implied units in this case are seconds). .SH DIAGNOSTICS The exit status is 0 for success, or 1 for a malformed command line. If the underlying .BR nanosleep (2) system call fails, an errno is returned. .SH SEE ALSO .BR sleep (1), .BR pause (2) and .BR nanosleep (2).
