Function sleep 

pub async fn sleep(secs: u64)

Suspends the current async task for the specified number of seconds.

This convenience function provides a simple interface for second-based delays, using the same high-precision platform-native timing as Timer::after.

Arguments

• secs - The number of seconds to sleep

Platform Integration

Uses the same platform-native scheduling as Timer for consistent precision.

Examples

use native_executor::timer::sleep;

async fn delayed_operation() {
    println!("Starting operation");
    sleep(2).await;  // High-precision 2-second delay
    println!("Operation resumed after 2 seconds");
}

fn main() {
    spawn(async {
        println!("Starting timers example");

        // Use the Timer API
        println!("Waiting for 500ms...");
        Timer::after(Duration::from_millis(500)).await;
        println!("500ms elapsed");

        // Use the seconds convenience method
        println!("Waiting for 1 second...");
        Timer::after_secs(1).await;
        println!("1 second elapsed");

        // Use the sleep convenience function
        println!("Sleeping for 2 seconds...");
        sleep(2).await;
        println!("2 seconds elapsed");

        println!("Timers example completed");
    })

    // Keep the main thread alive
    std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(4));
