# Function std::thread::sleep 1.4.0 [−] [src]

    pub fn sleep(dur: Duration)

Puts the current thread to sleep for the specified amount of time.

The thread may sleep longer than the duration specified due to scheduling specifics or platform-dependent functionality.

# Platform behavior

On Unix platforms this function will not return early due to a signal being received or a spurious wakeup. Platforms which do not support nanosecond precision for sleeping will have `dur` rounded up to the nearest granularity of time they can sleep for.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
