+This is a variant of the POSIX nanosleep(3) function. It suspends the
+current threads execution until the amount of time in I<rqtp> elapsed.
+The thread is guaranteed to not wake up before this time, but because
+of the non-preemptive scheduling nature of B<Pth>, it can be awakened
+later, of course. If I<rmtp> is not C<NULL>, the C<timespec> structure
+it references is updated to contain the unslept amount (the request time
+minus the time actually slept time). The difference between nanosleep(3)
+and pth_nanosleep(3) is that that pth_nanosleep(3) suspends only the
+execution of the current thread and not the whole process.
