(2) fills the structure indicated by ''value'' with the current setting for the timer indicated by ''which'' (one of __ITIMER_REAL__, __ITIMER_VIRTUAL__, or __ITIMER_PROF__). The element __it_value__ is set to the amount of time remaining on
the timer, or zero if the timer is disabled. Similarly, __it_interval__ is set to the reset value. Setitimer(2) sets the indicated timer to the value in ''value''. If ''ovalue'' is nonzero, the old value of the timer is stored there.
Timers decrement from ''it_value'' to zero, generate a signal, and reset to ''it_interval''. A timer which is set to zero (''it_value'' is zero or the timer expires and ''it_interval'' is zero) stops.
