NAME
+ +
+ + sleep, alarm – delay, ask for delayed note
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + #include <u.h>
+ #include <libc.h> +
+ + int sleep(long millisecs) +
+ + long alarm(unsigned long millisecs)
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Sleep suspends the current process for the number of milliseconds + specified by the argument. The actual suspension time may be a + little more or less than the requested time. If millisecs is 0, + the process gives up the CPU if another process is waiting to + run, returning immediately if not. Sleep returns –1 if interrupted, + 0 otherwise. +
+ + Alarm causes an alarm note (see notify(3)) to be sent to the invoking + process after the number of milliseconds given by the argument. + Successive calls to alarm reset the alarm clock. A zero argument + clears the alarm. The return value is the amount of time previously + remaining in the alarm clock. + +
