<h3>SLEEP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SLEEP(3)
</h3>
<h3>NAME
</h3> sleep - Sleep for the specified number of seconds
<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3> #include <unistd.h>
unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);
<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3> sleep() makes the current process sleep until seconds sec-
onds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not
ignored.
<h3>RETURN VALUE
</h3> Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of
seconds left to sleep.
<h3>CONFORMS TO
</h3> POSIX.1
<h3>BUGS
</h3> sleep() may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to
alarm() and sleep() is a bad idea.
Using longjmp() from a signal handler or modifying the
handling of SIGALRM while sleeping will cause undefined
results.
