/*	$NetBSD: killme_after.c,v 1.1.1.1 2009/06/23 10:09:00 tron Exp $	*/

/*++
/* NAME
/*	killme_after 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	programmed death
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <killme_after.h>
/*
/*	void	killme_after(seconds)
/*	unsigned int seconds;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	The killme_after() function does a best effort to terminate
/*	the process after the specified time, should it still exist.
/*	It is meant to be used in a signal handler, as an insurance
/*	against getting stuck somewhere while preparing for exit.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	None. This routine does a best effort, damn the torpedoes.
/* LICENSE
