The wiki does notsay what data type it is.

Also, the wiki is incorrect, it says us instead of ms.

You can always loop with a one minute delay in each iteration if you need to delay longer... What are you trying to do?

Regarding the max value, it is a signed 32bit type, but only allow +ve number. i.e. the range is from 0 : 2^31-1 "us"
