 It is read into the process' buffers or given to their filter functions.
 Non-nil arg PROCESS means do not return until some output has been received
 from PROCESS.
-Non-nil second arg TIMEOUT and third arg TIMEOUT-MSECS are number of
-seconds and microseconds to wait; return after that much time whether
-or not there is input.
+
+Non-nil second arg SECONDS and third arg MILLISEC are number of
+seconds and milliseconds to wait; return after that much time whether
+or not there is input.  If SECONDS is a floating point number,
+it specifies a fractional number of seconds to wait.
+
 If optional fourth arg JUST-THIS-ONE is non-nil, only accept output
 from PROCESS, suspending reading output from other processes.
 If JUST-THIS-ONE is an integer, don't run any timers either.
 Return non-nil iff we received any output before the timeout expired.  */)
