-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR usleep ()
-function suspends execution of the calling thread for
-(at least) \fIusec\fP microseconds.
-The sleep may be lengthened slightly
-by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the
-granularity of system timers.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-The
-.BR usleep ()
-function returns 0 on success.
-On error, \-1 is returned, with
-.I errno
-set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EINTR
-Interrupted by a signal; see
-.BR signal (7).
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-\fIusec\fP is greater than or equal to 1000000.
-(On systems where that is considered an error.)

-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
-POSIX.1-2001 declares it obsolete, suggesting
-.BR nanosleep (2)
-instead.
-Removed in POSIX.1-2008.
-.PP
-On the original BSD implementation,
-and before glibc 2.2.2, the return type of this function is
-.IR void .
-The POSIX version returns
-.IR int ,
-and this is also the prototype used since glibc 2.2.2.
-.PP
-Only the
-.B EINVAL
-error return is documented by SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001.
-.SH CAVEATS
-The interaction of this function with the
-.B SIGALRM
-signal, and with other timer functions such as
-.BR alarm (2),
-.BR sleep (3),
-.BR nanosleep (2),
-.BR setitimer (2),
-.BR timer_create (2),
-.BR timer_delete (2),
-.BR timer_getoverrun (2),
-.BR timer_gettime (2),
-.BR timer_settime (2),
-.BR ualarm (3)
-is unspecified.
