FpNanoSleep

Suspend process for a short time

Declaration

Source position: bunxh.inc line 94

function FpNanoSleep(

  req: ptimespec;

  rem: ptimespec

):cint;

Description

FpNanoSleep suspends the process till a time period as specified in req has passed. Then the function returns. If the call was interrupted (e.g. by some signal) then the function may return earlier, and rem will contain the remaining time till the end of the intended period. In this case the return value will be -1, and LinuxError will be set to EINTR

If the function returns without error, the return value is zero.

Errors

If an error occurred or the call was interrupted, -1 is returned. Extended error information can be retrieved using fpGetErrno.

  Writeln(res);
  If (res<>0) then
    With rem do
