# pcntl_alarm

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0)

pcntl_alarm -- Set an alarm clock for delivery of a signal

## Description

int pcntl_alarm ( int seconds)

The pcntl_alarm() function creates a timer that will send a `SIGALARM` signal to the process after `seconds` seconds. If `seconds` is zero, no new alarm is created. Any call to pcntl_alarm() will cancel any previously set alarm.

pcntl_alarm() will return the time in seconds that any previously scheduled alarm had remaining before it was to be delivered, or `0` if there was no previously scheduled alarm.
