similar to yield, stall pauses the node/iojs default runloop. it will block everything else in its surrounding context until completion flag is set. calling done() resumes contextual program flow back to normal asyc
npm install stallnode/iojs async runloop until you call a done() callback.``bash`
$ npm install stall
js
var stall = require('stall')//template for a sleep function
var sleep = stall( function (timeout, done) {
//just make sure to call done() to yield back the event loop
setTimeout(done, timeout)
})
console.log('this is a point in time... point A')
sleep(4000)
console.log('point A happened four seconds ago')
`test
bash
$ make clean && make && make check
