Control.Concurrent.Thread.Delay

Description

Arbitrarily long thread delays.

Synopsis

Documentation

delay :: Integer -> IO () #

Like Control.Concurrent.threadDelay, but not bounded by an Int.

Suspends the current thread for a given number of microseconds (GHC only).

There is no guarantee that the thread will be rescheduled promptly when the delay has expired, but the thread will never continue to run earlier than specified.
