@deffn primitive setitimer which_timer interval_seconds interval_microseconds value_seconds value_microseconds
Set the timer specified by @var{which_timer} according to the given
@var{interval_seconds}, @var{interval_microseconds},
@var{value_seconds}, and @var{value_microseconds} values, and return
information about the timer's previous setting. The timers available
are: @code{ITIMER_REAL}, @code{ITIMER_VIRTUAL}, and @code{ITIMER_PROF},
and the return value will be a list of two cons pairs representing the
current state of the given timer. The first pair is the seconds and
microseconds of the timer @code{it_interval}, and the second pair is the
seconds and microseconds of the timer @code{it_value}.
