Summary

0004023: usleep feature

Description

Hello,

it would be very nice to have a function usleep in Unix. Now, there is only sleep that waits for
a given number of seconds, but most of the time, it is not accurate (what if I need to wait 0.1 sec ?)
There is a 'delay' function in Threads, but sometimes, I need to compile without the thread library,
due to external constraints...
So it would be nice to have a usleep function in Unix, that just waits like sleep, but that take a float argument, or a given number of mili or microseconds...

Thank you !
