---------------------------------------------
int setitimer(int which, const struct itimerval* value, struct itimerval* old);
---------------------------------------------

Sets the interval timer `which` to `value`.  The `which` parameter can be one of `ITIMER_REAL`, `ITIMER_VIRTUAL`,
or `ITIMER_PROF`.  The old timer value is stored in `old` if it is not `NULL`.

Setting the `ITIMER_REAL` interval timer can produce the same results as the `alarm` function.
