SLEEP(3)							      SLEEP(3)

NAME
       sleep - suspend execution for interval

SYNOPSIS
       int sleep(unsigned int 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.

RETURNS
       If  the	sleep function returns because the requested time has elapsed,
       the value returned will be zero. If the sleep function returns  due  to
       the  delivery  of  a  signal,  the value returned is the requested time
       minus the time actually slept, in seconds.

ERRORS
       [EAGAIN]	      A resource is temporarily unavailable.
