SQLITE3_SLEEP(3)           Library Functions Manual           SQLITE3_SLEEP(3)

NAME
     sqlite3_sleep - suspend execution for a short time

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sqlite3.h>

     int
     sqlite3_sleep(int);

DESCRIPTION
     The sqlite3_sleep() function causes the current thread to suspend
     execution for at least a number of milliseconds specified in its
     parameter.

     If the operating system does not support sleep requests with millisecond
     time resolution, then the time will be rounded up to the nearest second.
     The number of milliseconds of sleep actually requested from the operating
     system is returned.

     SQLite implements this interface by calling the xSleep() method of the
     default sqlite3_vfs object.  If the xSleep() method of the default VFS is
     not implemented correctly, or not implemented at all, then the behavior
     of sqlite3_sleep() may deviate from the description in the previous
     paragraphs.

     If a negative argument is passed to sqlite3_sleep() the results vary by
     VFS and operating system.  Some system treat a negative argument as an
     instruction to sleep forever.  Others understand it to mean do not sleep
     at all.  In SQLite version 3.42.0 and later, a negative argument passed
     into sqlite3_sleep() is changed to zero before it is relayed down into
     the xSleep method of the VFS.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     These declarations were extracted from the interface documentation at
     line 6398.
