+# delay
+
+> Invoke a function after a specified duration.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var delay = require( '@stdlib/utils/delay' );
+```
+
+#### delay( fcn, duration\[, ...args] )
+
+Invokes a function after a specified duration.
+
+```javascript
+function beep() {
+ console.log( 'beep' );
+}
+
+// Invoke a function after 3 seconds:
+var t = delay( beep, 3000 );
+// returns
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Notes
+
+- In contrast to [`setTimeout`][mdn-settimeout] which returns a timeout identifier and requires passing this identifier to [`clearTimeout`][mdn-cleartimeout] in order to clear a pending invocation, the `delay` function returns a `timeout` object with additional properties and methods.
+
+- Browsers internally limit the maximum duration of a timeout to 32-bit signed integers (approximately 24.8 days). If a duration exceeds this limit, the function will invoke a provided function after the maximum duration.
+
+- A duration string is a string containing a sequence of time units. A time unit is a nonnegative integer followed by a unit identifier. The following unit identifiers are supported:
+
+ - `d`: days
+ - `h`: hours
+ - `m`: minutes
+ - `s`: seconds
+ - `ms`: milliseconds
+
+ For example, the string `1m3s10ms` is a duration string containing three time units: `1m` (1 minute), `3s` (3 seconds), and `10ms` (10 milliseconds). The string `60m` is a duration string containing a single time unit: `60m` (60 minutes).
+
+- Duration strings are case insensitive. For example, the string `1M3S10MS` is equivalent to `1m3s10ms`.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var delay = require( '@stdlib/utils/delay' );
+
+function beep() {
+ console.log( 'beep' );
+}
+function boop() {
+ console.log( 'boop' );
+}
+function baz() {
+ console.log( 'baz' );
+}
+
+var t1 = delay( beep, 3000 );
+var t2 = delay( boop, 1000 );
+var t3 = delay( baz, 4000 );
+
+t2.clear();
+
+// Wait 3 seconds...
+// => beep
+
+// Wait 1 more second...
+// => baz
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+* * *
+
+
+
+## CLI
+
+
+
+### Usage
+
+```text
+Usage: delay [options]
+
+Options:
+
+ -h, --help Print this message.
+ -V, --version Print the package version.
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+### Notes
+
+- The process sleeps for a specified duration before exiting.
+- The `duration` is specified in seconds or as a [duration string](#notes-duration-string) (e.g., `'5s'`, `'10m3s'`, `'2h'`, etc).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+$ delay 5
+```
