 Kernel::sleep

pigeon% ri Kernel::sleep
---------------------------------------------------------- Kernel::sleep
     sleep( [aNumeric] ) -> aFixnum
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Suspends the current thread for aNumber seconds (which may be a
     Float with fractional seconds). Returns the actual number of
     seconds slept (rounded), which may be less than that asked for if
     the thread was interrupted by a SIGALRM, or if another thread calls
     Thread#run. An argument of zero causes sleep to sleep forever.
