====== timersleep ======

Demonstrates how to use the timer device to wait for an amount of time specified on the command-line.

==== Synopsis ====

''%%timersleep <num seconds> <num microseconds>%%''

==== Description ====

This program demonstrates how to use the timer device to wait for a certain amount of time.

The program does the following:

  * Parses the command-line arguments
  * Opens the timer device
  * Creates an IOReq
  * Initializes an IOInfo structure
  * Calls ''%%DoIO()%%'' to perform the wait operation
  * Cleans up

Note that Portfolio provides convenience routines to make using the timer device easier. For example, ''%%CreateTimerIOReq()%%'', ''%%DeleteTimerIOReq()%%'', and ''%%WaitTime()%%''. This example intends to show how in general one can communicate with devices in the Portfolio environment. For more information on the timer convenience routines, see the timer device documentation.

==== Arguments ====

  * **num seconds** Number of seconds to wait.

  * **num microseconds** Number of microseconds to wait.
