+    <para>
+      Wait for the signal with signal number s to be received, or until
+      duration seconds have elapsed.  If duration is nil, wait for an
+      indeterminate "very long time" (many years).
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      If signal number s is outside the range of valid signals, or is
+      reserved by the lisp for its own use, an error is signaled.
+      (An error is always signaled on Windows systems.)
