.Nm nanosleep

|
.Nd suspend process execution for an interval measured in nanoseconds
|

.Sh LIBRARY

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In time.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn nanosleep "const struct timespec *rqtp" "struct timespec *rmtp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
system call
|
|
causes the process to sleep for the specified time.
|
|
An unmasked signal will
|
|
cause it to terminate the sleep early, regardless of the
|
|
.Dv SA_RESTART
|
|
value on the interrupting signal.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
system call returns because the requested time has elapsed, the value
|
|
returned will be zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
system call returns due to the delivery of a signal, the value returned
|
|
will be -1, and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will be set to indicate the interruption.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa rmtp
|
|
is
|
|
.No non- Ns 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
|
|
system call fails if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er

|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
Either
|
|
.Fa rqtp
|
|
or

|
points to memory that is not a valid part of the process
|
|
address space.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
system call
|
|
was interrupted by the delivery of a signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa rqtp
|
|
argument
|
|
specified a nanosecond value less than zero
|
|
or greater than or equal to 1000 million.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn nanosleep
|
|
system call
|
|
is not supported by this implementation.
