+.Dt UALARM 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ualarm
+.Nd schedule signal after specified time
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft useconds_t
+.Fn ualarm "useconds_t microseconds" "useconds_t interval"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This is a simplified interface to
+.Xr setitimer 2 .
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn ualarm
+function
+waits a count of
+.Fa microseconds
+before asserting the terminating signal
+.Dv SIGALRM .
+System activity or time used in processing the call may cause a slight
+delay.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fa interval
+argument is non-zero, the
+.Dv SIGALRM
+signal will be sent
+to the process every
+.Fa interval
+microseconds after the timer expires (e.g.\& after
+.Fa microseconds
+number of microseconds have passed).
+.Pp
+Due to
+.Xr setitimer 2
+restriction the maximum number of
+.Fa microseconds
+and
+.Fa interval
+is limited to 100000000000000
+(in case this value fits in the unsigned integer).
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+When the signal has successfully been caught,
+.Fn ualarm
+returns the amount of time left on the clock.
+.Sh NOTES
+A microsecond is 0.000001 seconds.
