NAME
     sleep - delay for a specified amount of time

SYNOPSIS
     sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
     sleep OPTION

DESCRIPTION
     Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may  be  `s'  for  seconds
     (the  default),  `m'  for  minutes, `h' for hours or `d' for
     days.  Unlike most implementations that require NUMBER be an
     integer,  here  NUMBER  may  be  an arbitrary floating point
     number.  Given two or more arguments, pause for  the  amount
     of time specified by the sum of their values.
