mx_nanosleep

NAME

nanosleep - high resolution sleep

SYNOPSIS

#include <magenta/syscalls.h>

mx_status_t mx_nanosleep(mx_time_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION

nanosleep() suspends the calling thread execution until deadline passes on MX_CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The value 0 immediately yields the thread.

To sleep for a duration, use mx_deadline_after and the MX_<time-unit> helpers:

#include <magenta/syscalls.h> // mx_deadline_after, mx_nanosleep
#include <magenta/types.h> // MX_MSEC et al.

// Sleep 50 milliseconds
mx_nanosleep(mx_deadline_after(MX_MSEC(50)));

RETURN VALUE

nanosleep() always returns MX_OK.
