| <dt><em>Description</em>:</dt> |
| <dd><p><code>ALARM(SECONDS, HANDLER [, STATUS])</code> causes external subroutine <var>HANDLER</var> |
| to be executed after a delay of <var>SECONDS</var> by using <code>alarm(2)</code> to |
| set up a signal and <code>signal(2)</code> to catch it. If <var>STATUS</var> is |
| supplied, it will be returned with the number of seconds remaining until |
| any previously scheduled alarm was due to be delivered, or zero if there |
| was no previously scheduled alarm. |
| </p> |

| </dd> |
| <dt><em>Class</em>:</dt> |
| <dd><p>Subroutine |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><em>Syntax</em>:</dt> |
| <dd><p><code>CALL ALARM(SECONDS, HANDLER [, STATUS])</code> |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt> |
| <dd><table> |
| <tr><td width="15%"><var>SECONDS</var></td><td width="70%">The type of the argument shall be a scalar |
| <code>INTEGER</code>. It is <code>INTENT(IN)</code>.</td></tr> |
| <tr><td width="15%"><var>HANDLER</var></td><td width="70%">Signal handler (<code>INTEGER FUNCTION</code> or |
| <code>SUBROUTINE</code>) or dummy/global <code>INTEGER</code> scalar. The scalar |
| values may be either <code>SIG_IGN=1</code> to ignore the alarm generated |
| or <code>SIG_DFL=0</code> to set the default action. It is <code>INTENT(IN)</code>.</td></tr> |
| <tr><td width="15%"><var>STATUS</var></td><td width="70%">(Optional) <var>STATUS</var> shall be a scalar |
| variable of the default <code>INTEGER</code> kind. It is <code>INTENT(OUT)</code>.</td></tr> |

| integer i |
| call alarm (3, handler_print, i) |
| print *, i |

| <p>This will cause the external routine <var>handler_print</var> to be called |
