std::this_thread::sleep_for - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | template< class Rep, class Period > void sleep_for( const std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period>& sleep_duration ); | | (since C++11) |

Blocks the execution of the current thread for at least the specified sleep_duration.

This function may block for longer than sleep_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays.

The standard recommends that a steady clock is used to measure the duration. If an implementation uses a system clock instead, the wait time may also be sensitive to clock adjustments.

[edit] Parameters

sleep_duration - time duration to sleep

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Exceptions

Any exception thrown by clock, time_point, or duration during the execution (clocks, time points, and durations provided by the standard library never throw).

[edit] Example

Possible output:

Hello waiter Waited 2000.13 ms
