Bug ID: 73371
Summary: sleep(): which clock ?
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No

the current man page states:
sleep() makes the calling thread sleep until seconds seconds have
elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.

unfortunately, the NOTES section does not discuss which clock is being used. the nanosleep man page has a good discussion on the topic, and presumably the answer is the same ?
