The function blocks the calling thread for at least the time that's specified by Rel_time. This function does not throw any exceptions.

Blocks the calling thread at least until the specified time.

template <class Clock, class Duration>
void sleep_until(const chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& Abs_time);

void sleep_until(const xtime *Abs_time);

Abs_time
Represents a point in time.

This function does not throw any exceptions.

Swaps the states of two thread objects.

void swap(thread& Left, thread& Right) noexcept;

Left
