setitimer([string, ] struct)Description
Set the value of a process timer to the given timeval struct. The optional string argument names the timer to be set and defaults to "virtual" if not given. Possible values are the strings "real", "virtual" and "prof" corresponding to the real, virtual and profiling timers. The struct argument contains two struct objects with the keys "interval" and "value". Each of these struct objects corresponds to a struct timeval system data structure and must contain two keys "sec" and "usec" with integer values giving the seconds and microseconds of the time value.
