- <P><B>pthread_delay_np</B> causes a thread to delay execution for a
- specific period of time. This period ends at the current time plus
- the specified interval. The routine will not return before the end of
- the period is reached, but may return an arbitrary amount of time
- after the period has gone by. This can be due to system load, thread
- priorities, and system timer granularity.</P>
- <P>Specifying an interval of zero (0) seconds and zero (0)
- nanoseconds is allowed and can be used to force the thread to give up
- the processor or to deliver a pending cancellation request.</P>
