Method sleep()
- Method sleep
void sleep(int|float s, void|int abort_on_signal)
- Description
This function makes the program stop for s seconds.
Only signal handlers can interrupt the sleep, and only when abort_on_signal is set. If more than one thread is running the signal must be sent to the sleeping thread. Other callbacks are not called during sleep.
If s is zero then this thread will yield to other threads but not sleep otherwise. Note that Pike yields internally at regular intervals so it's normally not necessary to do this.
