OSSL_SLEEP(3ossl)                   OpenSSL                  OSSL_SLEEP(3ossl)



NAME

       OSSL_sleep - delay execution for a specified number of milliseconds


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/crypto.h>

        void OSSL_sleep(uint64_t millis);


DESCRIPTION

       OSSL_sleep(3) is a convenience function to delay execution of the
       calling thread for (at least) millis milliseconds.  The delay is not
       guaranteed; it may be affected by system activity, by the time spent
       processing the call, limitation on the underlying system call parameter
       size or by system timer granularity.

       In particular on Windows the maximum amount of time it will sleep is 49
       days and on systems where the regular sleep(3) is used as the
       underlying system call the maximum sleep time is about 136 years.


RETURN VALUES

       OSSL_sleep(3) does not return any value.


HISTORY

       OSSL_sleep(3) was added in OpenSSL 3.2.
