NAME
     delayoutput - delay output

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int delayoutput(int ms);

DESCRIPTION
     On terminals that support pad characters, delayoutput() pauses the
     output for at least ms milliseconds. Otherwise, the length of the
     delay is unspecified.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, delayoutput() returns OK. Otherwise, it
     returns ERR.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.

NOTES
     Whether or not the terminal supports pad characters, the
     delayoutput() function is not a precise method of timekeeping.
