Manual

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