6.54 Delay
- Defined in namespace Smalltalk
- Category: Language-Processes
- I am the ultimate agent for frustration in the world. I cause things to wait
(typically much more than is appropriate, but it is those losing operating
systems' fault). When a process sends one of my instances a wait message,
that process goes to sleep for the interval specified when the instance was
created.
6.54.1 Delay class: general inquiries
- millisecondClockValue
- Private - Answer the number of milliseconds since midnight
6.54.2 Delay class: initialization
- initialize
- Private - Initialize the receiver and the associated process
6.54.3 Delay class: instance creation
- forMilliseconds: millisecondCount
- Answer a Delay waiting for millisecondCount milliseconds
- forSeconds: secondCount
- Answer a Delay waiting for secondCount seconds
- untilMilliseconds: millisecondCount
- Answer a Delay waiting for millisecondCount milliseconds after midnight
6.54.4 Delay: accessing
- resumptionTime
- Answer the time when a process waiting on a Delay will resume
6.54.5 Delay: comparing
- = aDelay
- Answer whether the receiver and aDelay denote the same delay
- hash
- Answer an hash value for the receiver
6.54.6 Delay: process delay
- wait
- Wait until the amount of time represented by the instance of Delay elapses
