JMIdle

Allows JManager time to service other threads.

OSStatus JMIdle     (JMSessionRef session, 
                     UInt32 JMTimeMillis);

session

The current session.

JMTimeMillis

The amount of time, in milliseconds, allowed to service other threads. For the default wait period, you can set this parameter to kDefaultJMTime.

function result

A result code; see "JManager Result Codes".

DISCUSSION

If no threads need to be serviced, JMIdle returns immediately. JMIdle also returns, suspending other threads, if a user event occurs in the current session. You should call the JMIdle function once each time through the event loop.
