:mrdocs:

Suspend execution of the current thread for a period of at least the optionally specified `seconds` and `microseconds` (relative time), and optionally load into the optionally specified `unsleptTime` the amount of time that was not slept by this function if the operation was interrupted by a signal. Return 0 on success, and non‐zero if the operation was interrupted by a signal. Note that the actual time suspended depends on many factors including system scheduling, and system timer resolution.
