== NAME

nng_sleep_aio - sleep asynchronously

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

void nng_sleep_aio(nng_duration msec, nng_aio *aio);
----

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_sleep_aio()` function performs an asynchronous "`sleep`",
causing the callback for _aio_ to be executed after _msec_ milliseconds.
If the sleep finishes completely, the result will always be zero.

NOTE: If a timeout is set on _aio_ using
xref:nng_aio_set_timeout.3.adoc[`nng_aio_set_timeout()`], and it is shorter
than _msec_,
then the sleep will wake up early, with a result code of `NNG_ETIMEDOUT`.

== RETURN VALUES

None.

== ERRORS

None.
