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.
