Millisecond sleep C functions in FreeBSD ???

[H.P.L.]

I need this info for the port of a (free) Linux program
in C language to FreeBSD. For Linux, I'm using nanosleep()
but can also use usleep().

Hi folks,
Can anyone tell this non-FreeBSD user what C functions are
available for millisecond-level sleep ?

I belive that you'll need to use usleep (as you know it's in microseconds),
I don't think there is a command with milliseconds level.

You should be able to use those in FreeBSD as well. Check out the man
pages (which you can read online at freebsd.org) nanosleep(2) and
usleep(3).

... Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer,
my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any
resemblance between the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The
question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them
is left as an exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of
the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A
discussion of non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope
of this article.)

Very nice, that man page library on freebsd.org. If I had known
about it earlier I would have saved myself some grief. Thanks
for your response.

nanosleep is available on HP-UX, Solaris, tru64, on AIX it's called
nsleep so
if ever need to port those OS's it's available.

I've had no call for any of these yet, but it's good to know.
Thanks for the info.
