Declaration

	void meiPlatformSleep(long milliseconds)
	Required Header: stdmei.h

Description

meiPlatformSleep puts the current thread to sleep for the number of milliseconds specified.

Different platforms have different time slice "quanta" (minimum sleep resolution) for threads. For example, Windows NT, 2000, and XP have a quanta of 10ms. For example, even if meiPlatformSleep(2) is specified, the actual sleep period will essentially be equivalent to meiPlatformSleep(10).
