+.Sh NAME
+.Nm delay ,
+.Nm DELAY
+.Nd microsecond delay
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn delay "unsigned int us"
+.Ft void
+.Fn DELAY "unsigned int us"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Wait approximately
+.Fa us
+microseconds.
+.Pp
+The delay is implemented as a machine loop, preventing events other than
+interrupt handlers for unmasked interrupts to run.
+.Fn DELAY
+is reentrant (doesn't modify any global kernel or machine state) and is
+safe to use in interrupt or process context.
+.Pp
+For long delays, condition variables
+should be considered, however they can only be used from process context
+and their resolution is limited by the system clock frequency.
