+Gnulib module: usleep
 
 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

+On some systems, @code{usleep} rejects attempts to sleep longer than 1
+second, as allowed by POSIX:
+mingw.
+@item
+This function is missing on some platforms.  However, the replacement
+is designed to be lightweight, and may round to the neareset second;
+use @code{select} or @code{nanosleep} if better resolution is needed:

 According to POSIX, the @code{usleep} function may interfere with the program's
 use of the @code{SIGALRM} signal.  On Linux, it doesn't; on other platforms,
 it may.
