The text (_foo_ means foo is emphasized /highlighted):
If the _interval_ argument is non-zero, the SIGALRM signal will be
sent to the process every _interval_ microseconds after the timer
expires (e.g. after _value_ microseconds have passed).
should probably read:
If the _interval_ argument is non-zero, the SIGALRM signal will be
sent to the process every _interval_ microseconds after the timer
expires (e.g. after _microseconds_ have passed).
(ie, "microseconds", not "value", is the argument name.)
