<dt>Here's a POSIX implementation of a sleep function in C, as found
in the book "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment":<br>

<br>
AFAIK, all the GHC platforms, including Windows, are POSIX compliant.
You could compile this code separately and call it via the FFI. If it
doesn't work on Windows, you could instead call:<br>
</dt>
</dl>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><tt>Win32::Sleep(TIME)</tt> </dt>
<dd>
<p class="firstline">[CORE] Pauses for TIME milliseconds. The
timeslices are made available
to other processes and threads.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Hope that helps,<br>

BTW, you have a very interesting disclaimer in your message. I hope I
will not go to jail for reading it.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi there,
In Ghc, how do I sleep for say, 1 minute? I'm trying to write a simple file
arrival listener and could not find the sleep api. Can haskell do it at
all?
Thanks.
Ben.
