task_sleep

task_sleep(timeout)
      

Causes the current task to wait until timeout is reached and return void. This blocks the task only if timeout represents a point in the future. It is an error for timeout to be an object other than a number.

Timeout can be an exact integer to indicate seconds or a fractional number to indicate sub-second precision.

Examples:

task(^() letfn loop (i = 10)
         { showln(i)
           task_sleep(2)
           loop(i + 1) })
//> 10
    11
    12
    13
    14
    15
    16          
    ...
