NAME

6       bup-tick - wait for up to one second
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bup tick
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bup tick  waits  until time(2) returns a different value than it origi‐
13       nally did.  Since time() has a granularity  of  one  second,  this  can
14       cause a delay of up to one second.
15
16       This  program  is  useful  for writing tests that need to ensure a file
17       date will be seen as modified.  It is  slightly  better  than  sleep(1)
18       since it sometimes waits for less than one second.
