NAME
       sleep - delay

SYNOPSIS
       include "sys.m";
       sys := load Sys Sys->PATH;

       sleep:	 fn(period: int): int;

DESCRIPTION
       Sleep  suspends the current thread for period milliseconds.  The actual
       suspension time may be a little more or less than the  requested	 time.
       If  period  is  0,  the	process gives up the CPU if another process is
       waiting to run, returning immediately if not.

       Sleep normally returns 0. In hosted Inferno it may return -1  to	 indi‐
       cate  that  it  was  not	 possible  to sleep (eg if no more threads are
       available).
