Errata 20190609¶

Topic: incorrect documentation of Irccd.System.usleep
Category: libirccd-js
Corrected: 3.0.2 (or revision r897)
Affected versions: since 3.0.0
Task: #2262

Background¶

The Javascript Irccd.System.usleep is a function to suspend the current thread.

Problem¶

The documentation stated that the function will wait for a specific number of milliseconds while the actual implementation suspend for microseconds. As the function name suggests, the u stands for micro therefore the function is right but not its documentation, thus this errata.
