65<p>The sleep time is the sum of specified values, hours, minutes seconds and milliseconds.
66 A negative value can be supplied to any of them provided the total sleep time
67 is positive</p>
68<p>Note that sleep times are always hints to be interpred by the OS how it feels
69 - small times may either be ignored or rounded up to a minimum timeslice. Note
70 also that the system clocks often have a fairly low granularity too, which complicates
71 measuring how long a sleep actually took.</p>
72<h3>Examples</h3>
73<pre> &lt;sleep milliseconds=&quot;10&quot;/&gt;</pre>
74Sleep for about 10 mS.
75<pre> &lt;sleep seconds=&quot;2&quot;/&gt;</pre>
76Sleep for about 2 seconds.
77<pre> &lt;sleep hours=&quot;1&quot; minutes=&quot;-59&quot; seconds=&quot;-58&quot;/&gt;</pre>
78<p>Sleep for one hour less 59:58, or two seconds again </p>
79<pre> &lt;sleep/&gt;</pre>
80Sleep for no time at all. This may yield the CPU time to another thread or process.
