| <p>The sleep time is the sum of specified values, hours, minutes seconds and milliseconds. |
| A negative value can be supplied to any of them provided the total sleep time |
| is positive</p> |
| <p>Note that sleep times are always hints to be interpred by the OS how it feels |
| - small times may either be ignored or rounded up to a minimum timeslice. Note |
| also that the system clocks often have a fairly low granularity too, which complicates |
| measuring how long a sleep actually took.</p> |
| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <pre> <sleep milliseconds="10"/></pre> |
| Sleep for about 10 mS. |
| <pre> <sleep seconds="2"/></pre> |
| Sleep for about 2 seconds. |
| <pre> <sleep hours="1" minutes="-59" seconds="-58"/></pre> |
| <p>Sleep for one hour less 59:58, or two seconds again </p> |
| <pre> <sleep /></pre> |
| Sleep for no time at all. This may yield the CPU time to another thread or process. |
