bup-tick(1)		    General Commands Manual		   bup-tick(1)

NAME
       bup-tick	- wait for up to one second

SYNOPSIS
       bup tick

DESCRIPTION
       bup  tick  waits	until time(2) returns a	different value	than it	origi-
       nally did.  Since time()	has a granularity  of  one  second,  this  can
       cause a delay of	up to one second.

       This  program  is  useful  for writing tests that need to ensure	a file
       date will be seen as modified.  It is  slightly	better	than  sleep(1)
       since it	sometimes waits	for less than one second.

EXAMPLES
	      $	date; bup tick;	date
	      Sat Feb  6 16:59:58 EST 2010
	      Sat Feb  6 16:59:59 EST 2010
