 * Name: usleep
 *
 * Description:
 *   The usleep() function will cause the calling thread to be suspended
 *   from execution until either the number of real-time microseconds
 *   specified by the argument 'usec' has elapsed or a signal is delivered
 *   to the calling thread. The suspension time may be longer than requested
 *   due to the scheduling of other activity by the system.
 *
 *   The 'usec' argument must be less than 1,000,000. If the value of
 *   'usec' is 0, then the call has no effect.
 *
 *   If a SIGALRM signal is generated for the calling process during
 *   execution of usleep() and if the SIGALRM signal is being ignored or
 *   blocked from delivery, it is unspecified whether usleep() returns
 *   when the SIGALRM signal is scheduled. If the signal is being blocked, it
 *   is also unspecified whether it remains pending after usleep() returns or
 *   it is discarded.
 *
 *   If a SIGALRM signal is generated for the calling process during
 *   execution of usleep(), except as a result of a prior call to alarm(),
 *   and if the SIGALRM signal is not being ignored or blocked from delivery,
 *   it is unspecified whether that signal has any effect other than causing
 *   usleep() to return.
 *
 *   If a signal-catching function interrupts usleep() and examines or changes
 *   either the time a SIGALRM is scheduled to be generated, the action
 *   associated with the SIGALRM signal, or whether the SIGALRM signal is
 *   blocked from delivery, the results are unspecified.
 *
 *   If a signal-catching function interrupts usleep() and calls siglongjmp()
 *   or longjmp() to restore an environment saved prior to the usleep() call,
 *   the action associated with the SIGALRM signal and the time at which a
 *   SIGALRM signal is scheduled to be generated are unspecified. It is also
 *   unspecified whether the SIGALRM signal is blocked, unless the process'
 *   signal mask is restored as part of the environment.
 *
 *   Implementations may place limitations on the granularity of timer values.
 *   For each interval timer, if the requested timer value requires a finer
 *   granularity than the implementation supports, the actual timer value will
 *   be rounded up to the next supported value. 
 *
 *   Interactions between usleep() and any of the following are unspecified:
 *
 *   nanosleep(), setitimer(), timer_create(), timer_delete(), timer_getoverrun(),
 *   timer_gettime(), timer_settime(), ualarm(), sleep()

 * Parameters:
 *   usec - the number of microseconds to wait.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   On successful completion, usleep() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1
 *   and sets errno to indicate the error. 
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
