Defined in header <thread>
template< class Clock, class Duration > void sleep_until( const std::chrono::time_point<Clock,Duration>& sleep_time );		(since C++11)

Blocks the execution of the current thread until specified sleep_time has been reached.

The clock tied to sleep_time is used, which means that adjustments of the clock are taken into account. Thus, the duration of the block might, but might not, be less or more than sleep_time - Clock::now() at the time of the call, depending on the direction of the adjustment. The function also may block for longer than until after sleep_time has been reached due to scheduling or resource contention delays.

Parameters

sleep_time

-

time to block until

Return value

(none)

Exceptions

Any exception thrown by Clock or Duration (clocks and durations provided by the standard library never throw)

stops the execution of the current thread for a specified time duration (function)
