Re: [5.1.4] Most portable solution to "sleep"?

[Axel Kittenberger <axkibe@...>]

The most portable system/kernel call would be select(0, NULL, NULL,
NULL, timeout); Most Systems support this. Currently this is neither
the way luaposix, nor socket.sleep does it.
But since you target for a Linux variant anyway, its likely fully
posix compatble, so why not use luaposix?
