SYNOPSIS

9       sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
10       sleep OPTION
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may be 's' for seconds (the default),
14       'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days.  Unlike most  implemen‐
15       tations  that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbi‐
16       trary floating point number.  Given two or more  arguments,  pause  for
17       the amount of time specified by the sum of their values.
