Sleep for specified time in Windows Command prompt.


🖥️ [Command prompt](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sleep.cmd),

📜 [Files](https://unpkg.com/sleep.cmd/).

[sleep] is a command in *Unix-like* operating systems that **suspends program**

**execution** for specified time. This package provides the `sleep` command for

Windows [Command prompt], with exactly the **same behaviour** as in *Unix-like*

*systems*. Please check examples below. [Source code] for the executable is

written in `C#`. It should be noted *small delays* (few milliseconds) are *less*

*accurate*.
