(info "(coreutils) sleep invocation")
Historical implementations of ‘sleep’ have required that NUMBER be an
integer, and only accepted a single argument without a suffix. However,
GNU ‘sleep’ accepts arbitrary floating point numbers. *Note Floating
point::.
Add:
*GNU sleep will pass that floating number to the system, which might or
might not ignore the time indicated after the decimal point.
OR
*GNU sleep will round / truncate? the number into a whole number, before
sending it to the system.
