I am working on sxitwi.c and have a question on the tsleep function.

Any documentation describes the timo parameter to tsleep as:

If non-zero, the process will sleep for at most timo/hz seconds. If this
amount of time elapses and no wakeup(ident) has occurred, and no signal
(if PCATCHwas set) was posted, tsleep() will return EWOULDBLOCK.

I would like to know what “timo/hz” means.  Hz is the symbol for cycles, but
what does it mean in this context?  If the timo parameter is set to 100,
does tsleep sleep for at most 100 seconds or 100 divided by something?
