/**
@file
@brief Wait until a file arrives before continuing execution
@details Loops with a `sleep()` command until a file arrives or the max wait
period expires.
Example: Wait 3 minutes OR for /tmp/flag.txt to appear
%mp_wait4file(/tmp/flag.txt , maxwait=60*3)
@param [in] file The file to wait for. Must be provided.
@param [in] maxwait= (0) Number of seconds to wait. If set to zero, will
loop indefinitely (to a maximum of 46 days, per SAS [documentation](
https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a001418809.htm
)). Otherwise, execution will proceed upon sleep expiry.
@param [in] interval= (1) The wait period between sleeps, in seconds
