The explain_usleep_on_error function is used to call the usleep(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_usleep(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

RETURN VALUE

The explain_usleep_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped usleep(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
The explain_usleep_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
    explain_usleep_or_die(usec);
