Because sometimes, you just want sleep.
lsleep is an uber-simple library that just adds sleep and usleep to Lua.
TODO!
make
make install
I might include a VS2010 project, once I can figure out how to make an offshoot of one that is automatically generalized (and figure out what that means in Windows :)).
For now, just know that all that you need to do is make a standard DLL project that includes the Lua library in your path (usually lua52.lib or lua.52.lib, or whatever).
Also, _WINDLL must be #define-ed but that happens automatically in VS.
##Usage
local lsleep = require'lsleep'
lsleep(3) --wait three seconds.
local sleep, usleep = lsleep.sleep, lsleep.usleep
sleep(1) --wait one second.
usleep(2.5 * 10000000) --wait 2.5 seconds
It seems odd to me that the sleep command only comes bundled inside of the TCP/IP library for Lua. So, here is sleep, and as a bonus, usleep, all by themselves. :)
