Overview

  • time.After returns a channel that after the given duration, will send current time on it. This can be used to implement a timeout with select.

time.Sleep()

Sleep pauses the current goroutine for at least the duration d. A negative or zero duration causes Sleep to return immediately:

import "time"
...
var secs int
secs = 10
time.Sleep(time.Duration(secs) * time.Second)

After(Duration)

The After() returns a channel that will provide a Time instance after the given duration elapses. Equivalent with NewTimer(d).C.
