usleep - Delay execution in microseconds

SYNOPSIS

       void usleep (int  $micro_seconds)

DESCRIPTION

	Delays program execution for the given number of microseconds.

PARAMETERS

	      o $micro_seconds
		- Halt time in microseconds. A microsecond is one millionth of a second.

RETURN VALUES

	No value is returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      usleep(3) example

	      <?php

	      // Current time
	      echo date('h:i:s') . "
";

	      // wait for 2 seconds
	      usleep(2000000);

	      // back!
	      echo date('h:i:s') . "
";

	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      11:13:28
	      11:13:30

NAME

       usleep - suspend execution for microsecond intervals

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       void usleep(unsigned long usec);
       int usleep(unsigned long usec); /* SUSv2 */

DESCRIPTION

       The  usleep() function suspends execution of the calling process for usec microseconds.	The sleep may be lengthened slightly by any system
       activity or by the time spent processing the call.

RETURN VALUE

       None (BSD). Or: 0 on success, -1 on error (SUSv2).

ERRORS

       EINTR  Interrupted by a signal.

       EINVAL usec is not smaller than 1000000.  (On systems where that is considered an error.)

CONFORMING TO

       BSD 4.3.  The SUSv2 version returns int, and this is also the prototype used by glibc 2.2.2.  Only the EINVAL error return is documented by
       SUSv2.

NOTES

       The  interaction of this function with SIGALRM and other timer functions such as sleep(), alarm(), setitimer(), nanosleep() is unspecified.
       This function is obsolete. Use nanosleep(2) or setitimer(2) instead.
