This command is used to delay execution of the program or to
execute a command in background after a delay. The _m_s
argument gives a time in milliseconds. If _m_s is the only
argument to aaaafffftttteeeerrrr then the command sleeps for _m_s
milliseconds and returns. While the command is sleeping the |
application does not respond to X events and other events.
If additional arguments are present after _m_s, then a Tcl
command is formed by concatenating all the additional
arguments in the same fashion as the ccccoooonnnnccccaaaatttt command. AAAAfffftttteeeerrrr
returns immediately but arranges for the command to be
executed _m_s milliseconds later in background. The command |
will be executed at global level (outside the context of any |
Tcl procedure). If an error occurs while executing the
delayed command then the ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr mechanism is used to report
the error.
The aaaafffftttteeeerrrr command always returns an empty string.
