💤 USLEEP(1) — general commands manual, bestie edition 💤

okay so this is the manual page for usleep, and yes it's giving "ancient little sleeper" energy but we're gonna get through it together, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

usleep — sleep some number of microseconds 💤

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usleep [number]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so usleep sleeps some number of microseconds. that's it. that's the whole thing. it's a nap button but for your terminal, and the nap is measured in microseconds, which is tiny. literally so small.

the default is 1. one single microsecond. iconically brief. 🦋

---

🚨 WARNING 🚨

bestie. listen. usleep has been deprecated, and it will be removed in near future. 😭

use sleep(1) instead. that's the assignment. that's the move. go find sleep(1), she's the main character now, usleep is literally being phased out. no cap. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --usage — show a short usage message. just the lil snack-sized version. 🍓
• --help, -? — print help information. the full spread. ✨
• -v, --version — print version information. who are you, little sleeper? 🌈

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl it's probably not accurate on many machines down to the microsecond. like, she's trying her best but the vibes are not precise down there. 🙈

count on precision only to -4 or maybe -5. that's the limit, bestie. do not expect more. the microsecond fantasy is a lie. 💔
