.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In time.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn nanosleep "const struct timespec *rqtp" "struct timespec *rmtp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
suspends execution of the calling process until either the number of
|
|
seconds and nanoseconds specified by
|
|
.Fa rqtp
|
|
have elapsed or a signal is delivered to the calling process and its
|
|
action is to invoke a signal catching function or to terminate the
|
|
process.
|
|
The suspension time may be longer than requested due to the
|
|
scheduling of other activity by the system.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
function returns because the requested time has elapsed, the value
|
|
returned will be zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
function returns due to the delivery of a signal, the value returned
|
|
will be the \-1, and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will be set to indicate the interruption.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa rmtp
|
|
is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
|
|
the timespec structure it references is updated to contain the
|
|
unslept amount (the request time minus the time actually slept).
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function shall return \-1 and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value.
