Sleep Documentation Incorrect

Reported by: maroesjk Owned by:
Milestone: Component: Documentation
Version: 3.2.10.0 Severity:
Keywords: Sleep Cc:

Description

The documentation of the function Sleep( delay ) is incorrect. It states that the return value is "none", but actually it is "1". This may be important for usage in scripts.

You are missing the point. All functions must return a value, so no function returns a value of "none". But the point is, the return value is not clearly defined. We do not guarantee Sleep() will return 1. If you choose to rely on this value, you do so at your own risk that at some point we may change the value. Hence, the return value is not documented.

Wouldn't it be better if the documentation stated that the return value is "undefined", "undocumented" or something instead of "none". Apparently "none" might lead to misunderstandings...
