NAME

6       pmpause, pmsleep - portable subsecond-capable sleep
7

SYNOPSIS

9       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmpause [-w where]
10       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmsleep [-w where] interval
11

DESCRIPTION

13       pmpause sleeps indefinitely, until interrupted by SIGKILL.
14
15       pmsleep  sleeps for the specified interval.  The interval argument fol‐
16       lows the syntax described in PCPIntro(1) for -t, and  in  the  simplest
17       form may be an unsigned integer or floating point constant (the implied
18       units in this case are seconds).
19
20       The -w option is provided to allow annotation of scripts with  multiple
21       uses  of  pmpause  and/or  pmsleep  to identify a particular use in the
22       process's arguments, e.g. as visible to ps(1).
23

DIAGNOSTICS

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