7 bup-tick - wait for up to one second
15 `bup tick` waits until `time`(2) returns a different value
16 than it originally did. Since time() has a granularity of
17 one second, this can cause a delay of up to one second.
19 This program is useful for writing tests that need to
20 ensure a file date will be seen as modified. It is
21 slightly better than `sleep`(1) since it sometimes waits
22 for less than one second.
