@(#)sleep.3 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/4/93

.Dd April 17, 1997 .Dt NANOSLEEP 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm nanosleep .Nd suspend thread execution for an interval measured in nanoseconds .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n time.h .Ft int .Fo nanosleep .Fa "const struct timespec *rqtp" .Fa "struct timespec *rmtp" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn nanosleep function causes the calling thread to sleep for the amount of time specified in .Fa rqtp (the actual time slept may be longer, due to system latencies and possible limitations in the timer resolution of the hardware). An unmasked signal will cause .Fn nanosleep to terminate the sleep early, regardless of the .Dv SA_RESTART value on the interrupting signal. .Sh RETURN VALUES If .Fn nanosleep returns because the requested time has elapsed, the value returned will be zero.

p If .Fn nanosleep 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

f 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 The .Fn nanosleep call fails if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINTR .Fn nanosleep was interrupted by the delivery of a signal. t Bq Er EINVAL .Fa rqtp specified a nanosecond value less than zero or greater than or equal to 1000 million. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sigsuspend 2 , .Xr sleep 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn nanosleep function conforms to .St -p1003.1b-93 .
