`sleep': Delay for a specified time
===================================

   `sleep' pauses for an amount of time specified by the sum of the
values of the command line arguments.  Synopsis:

     sleep NUMBER[smhd]...

   Each argument is a number followed by an optional unit; the default
is seconds.  The units are:

`s'
     seconds

`m'
     minutes

`h'
     hours

`d'
     days

   Historical implementations of `sleep' have required that NUMBER be
an integer.  However, GNU `sleep' accepts arbitrary floating point
numbers.

   The only options are `--help' and `--version'.  Note: Common
options.
