Tk_Sleep - delay execution for a given number of milliseconds

Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     Tk_Sleep - delay execution for a given number of milliseconds

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tk.h>

     Tk_Sleep(ms)

ARGUMENTS
     intms(in)
     Number of milliseconds to sleep.


DESCRIPTION
     This procedure delays the calling process by the number of milliseconds
     given by the ms parameter, and returns after that time has elapsed.  It
     is typically used for things like flashing a button, where the delay is
     short and the application needn't do anything while it waits.  For longer
     delays where the application needs to respond to other events during the
     delay, the procedure Tk_CreateTimerHandler should be used instead of
     Tk_Sleep.


KEYWORDS
     sleep, time, wait
