     The uuaallaarrmm() function waits a count of _m_i_c_r_o_s_e_c_o_n_d_s before asserting the
     terminating signal SIGALRM. System activity or time used in processing
     the call may cause a slight delay.

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

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
     When the signal has successfully been caught, aallaarrmm() returns the amount
     of time left on the clock.  The maximum mumber of _m_i_c_r_o_s_e_c_o_n_d_s allowed is
     2147483647.
