+<P><B>pthread_delay_np</B> causes a thread to delay execution for a
+specific period of time. This period ends at the current time plus
+the specified interval. The routine will not return before the end of
+the period is reached, but may return an arbitrary amount of time
+after the period has gone by. This can be due to system load, thread
+priorities, and system timer granularity.</P>
+<P>Specifying an interval of zero (0) seconds and zero (0)
+nanoseconds is allowed and can be used to force the thread to give up
+the processor or to deliver a pending cancellation request.</P>
