EXAMPLE

Sample program:

    program demo_system_sleep
    use M_time, only : system_sleep, now
    implicit none
    integer :: i
       !
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time before integer call is: ",now()
       call system_sleep(4)
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time after integer call is: ",now()
       !
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time before real call is: ",now()
       call system_sleep(4.0)
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time after real call is: ",now()
       !
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time before loop is: ",now()
       do i=1,1000
          call system_sleep(4.0/1000.0)
       enddo
       write(*,’(a)’)"Time after loop is: ",now()
       !
    end program demo_system_sleep
