napms()
Sleep for a given number of milliseconds
Synopsis:
#include <curses.h> int napms( int ms);
Since:
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Arguments:
- ms
- The number of milliseconds that you want the process to sleep.
Library:
libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
Description:
The napms() routine delays the calling process for ms milliseconds. This function is similar to delay() and nap().
The suspension time may be greater than the requested amount, due to the nature of time measurement (see the Tick, Tock: Understanding the Microkernel's Concept of Time chapter of the BlackBerry 10 OS Programmer's Guide), or due to the scheduling of other, higher-priority threads by the system.
