task_delay
| Definition: | task_delay(atom delaytime) |
| Description: |
Suspends a task for a short period, allowing other tasks to run in the meantime.
delaytime : the duration of the delay in seconds and/or fractions of a second. |
| pwa/p2js: | Not supported. |
| Comments: |
This procedure is similar to sleep(), but allows for other tasks to run by yielding on a regular basis. Like sleep(), its argument need not be an integer. |
| Implementation: | See builtins\VM\pTask.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
