NAME
       sleep - Sleep for the specified number of seconds
                                                                       
        
SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>
                                                                       
        
       unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);
 
DESCRIPTION
       sleep()  makes  the  current  process  sleep until seconds have
       elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.
 
RETURN VALUE
       Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of seconds
               
       left to sleep.
 
CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1
 
BUGS
       sleep()  may  be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to   
       alarm() and sleep() is a bad idea.


PS: may not work under windows...
