    Sleep

    Sleep for some number of seconds

    The call (sleep n) returns nil. However, it takes approximately n seconds of real time for this call to return.

    The guard for sleep requires its argument to be a non-negative rational number.

    Sleep is a Common Lisp function. See any Common Lisp documentation for more information.

    Function: sleep

    (defun sleep (n)
           (declare (xargs :guard (and (rationalp n) (<= 0 n))))
           (declare (ignore n))
           nil)
