tcl7.6 C API - Sleep
NAME
Tcl_Sleep - delay execution for a given number of mil-
liseconds
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_Sleep(ms)
ARGUMENTS
int ms (in) Number of mil-
liseconds 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 applica-
tion needn't do anything while it waits. For longer delays
where the application needs to respond to other events dur-
ing the delay, the procedure Tcl_CreateTimerHandler should
be used instead of Tcl_Sleep.
KEYWORDS
