napms()

Sleep for a given number of milliseconds

Synopsis:

#include <curses.h> 

int napms( int ms);

Arguments:

ms: The number of milliseconds that you want the process to sleep.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The napms() routine delays the calling process for ms milliseconds. This function is similar to delay() and nap().

The suspension time may be greater than the requested amount, due to the nature of time measurement (see the Tick, Tock: Understanding the Neutrino Microkernel's Concept of Time chapter of the QNX Neutrino Programmer's Guide), or due to the scheduling of other, higher-priority threads by the system.

Classification:

Unix

Cancellation point	Yes
