### NAME

Tcl_Sleep — 与えられた厘秒だけ実行を遅らせる delay execution for a given number of milliseconds

### SYNOPSIS

#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_Sleep(ms)

### 引数 ARGUMENTS

int ms (入力in)
  眠るべき千分の一秒の数｡　 Number of milliseconds to sleep.

### 説明 DESCRIPTION

この手続函数は千分の１秒単位として ms 假引数によって与えられた数だけ呼出し処理課程を遅延し､その時間が経過した後戻る｡その典型的な用途は瞬き釦であり､そこでは遅延は短く､応用譜は待つ間に何もする必要がない｡更に長い遅延で其処では応用譜が遅延の間に他の行事に応答する必要がある場合､ Tcl_Sleep の代りに手続函数 Tcl_CreateTimerHandler を使うべきである｡ This procedure delays the calling process by the number of milliseconds given by the ms parameter and returns after that time has elapsed. It is typically used for things like flashing a button, where the delay is short and the application need not do anything while it waits. For longer delays where the application needs to respond to other events during the delay, the procedure Tcl_CreateTimerHandler should be used instead of Tcl_Sleep.
