Function forest_filecoin::libp2p_bitswap::task::sleep
source · pub fn sleep(duration: Duration) -> Sleep
Expand description
Waits until duration
has elapsed.
Equivalent to sleep_until(Instant::now() + duration)
. An asynchronous
analog to std::thread::sleep
.
No work is performed while awaiting on the sleep future to complete. Sleep
operates at millisecond granularity and should not be used for tasks that
require high-resolution timers. The implementation is platform specific,
and some platforms (specifically Windows) will provide timers with a
larger resolution than 1 ms.
To run something regularly on a schedule, see interval
.
The maximum duration for a sleep is 68719476734 milliseconds (approximately 2.2 years).
§Cancellation
Canceling a sleep instance is done by dropping the returned future. No additional cleanup work is required.
§Examples
Wait 100ms and print “100 ms have elapsed”.
use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
println!("100 ms have elapsed");
}
See the documentation for the Sleep
type for more examples.
§Panics
This function panics if there is no current timer set.
It can be triggered when Builder::enable_time
or
Builder::enable_all
are not included in the builder.
It can also panic whenever a timer is created outside of a
Tokio runtime. That is why rt.block_on(sleep(...))
will panic,
since the function is executed outside of the runtime.
Whereas rt.block_on(async {sleep(...).await})
doesn’t panic.
And this is because wrapping the function on an async makes it lazy,
and so gets executed inside the runtime successfully without
panicking.
