Expand description

Use `sleep`.

Puts the current thread to sleep for at least the specified amount of time.

The thread may sleep longer than the duration specified due to scheduling specifics or platform-dependent functionality. It will never sleep less.

This function is blocking, and should not be used in `async` functions.

## Platform-specific behavior

On Unix platforms, the underlying syscall may be interrupted by a spurious wakeup or signal handler. To ensure the sleep occurs for at least the specified duration, this function may invoke that system call multiple times.

## Examples

    use std::thread;

    // Let's sleep for 2 seconds:
    thread::sleep_ms(2000);
