- 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.
