NAME

       schedule_hrtimeout_range - sleep until timeout

SYNOPSIS

       int __sched schedule_hrtimeout_range(ktime_t * expires, unsigned long delta, const enum hrtimer_mode mode);

ARGUMENTS

       expires
	   timeout value (ktime_t)

       delta
	   slack in expires timeout (ktime_t)

       mode
	   timer mode, HRTIMER_MODE_ABS or HRTIMER_MODE_REL

DESCRIPTION

       Make the current task sleep until the given expiry time has elapsed. The routine will return immediately unless the current task state has
       been set (see set_current_state).

       The delta argument gives the kernel the freedom to schedule the actual wakeup to a time that is both power and performance friendly. The
       kernel give the normal best effort behavior for "expires+delta", but may decide to fire the timer earlier, but no earlier than expires.

       You can set the task state as follows -

       TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE - at least timeout time is guaranteed to pass before the routine returns.

       TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE - the routine may return early if a signal is delivered to the current task.

       The current task state is guaranteed to be TASK_RUNNING when this routine returns.

       Returns 0 when the timer has expired otherwise -EINTR

Name
       sleep - suspend execution for interval

Syntax
       unsigned
       sleep(seconds)
       unsigned seconds;

Description
       The  current process is suspended from execution for the number of seconds specified by the argument.  The actual suspension time may be up
       to 1 second less than that requested, because scheduled wakeups occur at fixed 1-second intervals, and an arbitrary amount  longer  because
       of other activity in the system.

       The  routine  is  implemented  by  setting  an  interval  timer and pausing until it occurs.  The previous state of this timer is saved and
       restored.  If the sleep time exceeds the time to the expiration of the previous timer, the process sleeps only until the signal would  have
       occurred, and the signal is sent 1 second later.

Return Values
       The  value  returned by is the unslept amount(the requested time minus the time actually slept). This return value may be non-zero in cases
       where the caller had an alarm set to go off earlier than the end of the requested time, or where was interrupted due to a caught signal(see
       ENVIRONMENT below).

Environment
       POSIX
       SYSTEM_FIVE
       When  your  program  is compiled in POSIX or System V mode, the will be terminated by any caught signal. The function will return following
       execution of the signal's catching routine.
