Sleep is a small console application that pauses execution of a script/terminal for a specified amount of time. It is very similar to the Linux Sleep program from the GNU core utils package.

Any combination of real, integer, hexadecimal, or binary numbers. Each number may be followed by a time unit suffix. The total waiting time will be the sum of all the numbers provided.
The decimal separator in real numbers can be .
(period) or ,
(comma).
Hexadecimal numbers must be prefixed with 0x
or $
(dollar), eg. 0x0A
, $0A
.
The letter D
at the end of the number is treated as a unit of time (days), so if you want to set the wait time to $0D
seconds, you must use $ODs
and not $OD
.
Binary numbers must be prefixed with %
(percent), eg. %1010
.
Maximum waiting time: 2^32 ms = 49d 17:02:47.295
Timer resolution depends on the operating system and hardware. On my Windows 10: min = 15.625 ms, max = 0.500 ms.
