Bup 0.33.7                                         2025-01-11                                        bup-tick(1)

       Part of the bup(1) suite.

       bup  tick  waits  until  time(2)  returns  a  different value than it originally did.  Since time() has a
       granularity of one second, this can cause a delay of up to one second.

       This program is useful for writing tests that need to ensure a file date will be seen as modified.  It is
       slightly better than sleep(1) since it sometimes waits for less than one second.
