lib/libc/gen : ualarm.3
Log message:
ualarm.3: cleanups, rewrites
Clean up the ualarm.3 page as we did with the alarm.3 page.
- Be more specific in the Name summary.
- Rewrite the Description. In particular, ualarm(3) does not block,
it schedules the signal for asynchronous delivery.
- The Return Values section is incoherent, rewrite it. Remove the
incorrect details about the upper bound.
- Add Caveats: discourage use of ualarm(3) and setitimer(2) in the
same program.
