.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR usleep ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
function suspends execution of the calling thread for
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
(at least) \fIusec\fP microseconds.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The sleep may be lengthened slightly
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
granularity of system timers.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.SH RETURN VALUE
|

Packit |
7cfc04 |
The
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR usleep ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
function returns 0 on success.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
On error, \-1 is returned, with
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I errno
|

Packit |
7cfc04 |
set to indicate the cause of the error.

Packit |
7cfc04 |
4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
POSIX.1-2001 declares this function obsolete; use
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR nanosleep (2)
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
instead.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR usleep ().
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.PP
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
On the original BSD implementation,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and in glibc before version 2.2.2, the return type of this function is
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR void .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The POSIX version returns
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR int ,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and this is also the prototype used since glibc 2.2.2.

7cfc04 |
Only the
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.B EINVAL
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
error return is documented by SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001.
|

.SH NOTES
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The type
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I useconds_t
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
is an unsigned integer type capable of holding integers
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
in the range [0,1000000].
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
Programs will be more portable
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
if they never mention this type explicitly.
