NAME

       pmpause, pmsleep - portable subsecond-capable sleep

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmpause [-w where]
       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmsleep [-w where] interval

DESCRIPTION

       pmpause sleeps indefinitely, until interrupted by SIGKILL.

       pmsleep  sleeps  for  the  specified  interval.   The  interval  argument follows the syntax described in
       PCPIntro(1) for -t, and in the simplest form may be an unsigned integer or floating point  constant  (the
       implied units in this case are seconds).

       The  -w option is provided to allow annotation of scripts with multiple uses of pmpause and/or pmsleep to
       identify a particular use in the process's arguments, e.g. as visible to ps(1).

DIAGNOSTICS

       The exit status is 0 for success, or 1 for a malformed command  line.   If  the  underlying  nanosleep(2)
       system call fails, an errno is returned.

SEE ALSO

       sleep(1), pause(2) and nanosleep(2).
