Provided by: coreutils_8.21-1ubuntu5.4_amd64 bug

NAME

       sleep - delay for a specified amount of time

SYNOPSIS

       sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
       sleep OPTION

DESCRIPTION

       Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may be 's' for seconds (the default), 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or
       'd' for days.  Unlike most implementations that require NUMBER be an  integer,  here  NUMBER  may  be  an
       arbitrary  floating point number.  Given two or more arguments, pause for the amount of time specified by
       the sum of their values.
