.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
This procedure delays the calling process by the number of
|
||||
milliseconds given by the \fIms\fR parameter and returns
|
||||
after that time has elapsed. It is typically used for things
|
||||
like flashing a button, where the delay is short and the
|
||||
application need not do anything while it waits. For longer
|
||||
delays where the application needs to respond to other events
|
||||
during the delay, the procedure \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR
|
||||
should be used instead of \fBTcl_Sleep\fR.
|
||||
.SH KEYWORDS
|
||||
sleep, time, wait
