@defun seconds-to-time seconds
This function converts @var{seconds}, a floating point number of
seconds since the epoch, to a time value and returns that. To perform
-the inverse conversion, use @code{float-time}.
+the inverse conversion, use @code{float-time} (@pxref{Time of Day}).

both elapsed and processor time, used by the Emacs process.
@deffn Command emacs-uptime &optional format
+@cindex uptime of Emacs
This function returns a string representing the Emacs
@dfn{uptime}---the elapsed wall-clock time this instance of Emacs is
running. The string is formatted by @code{format-seconds} according
@defun set-input-mode interrupt flow meta &optional quit-char
This function sets the mode for reading keyboard input. If
-@var{interrupt} is non-null, then Emacs uses input interrupts. If it is
-@code{nil}, then it uses @sc{cbreak} mode. The default setting is
-system-dependent. Some systems always use @sc{cbreak} mode regardless
-of what is specified.

When Emacs communicates directly with X, it ignores this argument and
uses interrupts if that is the way it knows how to communicate.

@node Sound Output
certain systems are supported; if you call @code{play-sound} on a
system which cannot really do the job, it gives an error.
+@c FIXME: Add indexes for Au and WAV? --xfq
The sound must be stored as a file in RIFF-WAVE format (@samp{.wav})
or Sun Audio format (@samp{.au}).
