Description

Adds a tiny command for delaying scripts by a requested number of microseconds. It is useful in shell automation, tests, and timing-sensitive scripts that need shorter waits than whole seconds.

This is a terminal utility. Actual sleep precision depends on the operating system scheduler, so it should not be treated as hard real-time timing.
