nanosleep
Hello,
Can anyone, please, guide me on the use of nanosleep. I'm learning threads. I want to introduce a delay (not nested for loops, something more customizable). Nanosleep looked useful (or any other form of customizable and easy-to-use delay). Sleep is too long.

Hi,
I have encountered the following problem on Solaris 10:
I have a thread that is asleep on nanosleep (set to 24 hours).
Something that happens on another thread, causes the nanosleep to exit, even though the time has not elapsed.
The returned value is 0 (so it doesn't look like it... (1 Reply)

I use nanosleep under solaris10,like follows:
#include <pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
struct to_info{
void (*to_fn)(void *);
void *to_arg;
struct timespec to_wait;

void *timeout_helper(void *arg){
struct to_info *tip;
nanosleep(&tip->to_wait,NULL);... (1 Reply)

Application runs on both solaris 6 and 10.
solaris 6 having only posix4.so library, solaris 10 having libposix4.so and librt.so
Can we link application to lposix4 instead of lrt for nanosleep, sothat application will run in both machines? (2 Replies)

Hi @ll :)
I have a problem with my code but first a short description:

nanosleep(3C) Standard C Library Functions nanosleep(3C) NAME
nanosleep - high resolution sleep SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h> int nanosleep(const struct timespec *rqtp, struct timespec *rmtp); DESCRIPTION
The nanosleep() function causes the current thread to be suspended from execution until either the time interval specified by the rqtp argument has elapsed or a signal is delivered to the calling thread and its action is to invoke a signal-catching function or to terminate the process. The suspension time may be longer than requested because the argument value is rounded up to an integer multiple of the sleep resolution or because of the scheduling of other activity by the system. But, except for the case of being interrupted by a signal, the suspension time will not be less than the time specified by rqtp, as measured by the system clock, CLOCK_REALTIME. The use of the nanosleep() function has no effect on the action or blockage of any signal. RETURN VALUES
If the nanosleep() function returns because the requested time has elapsed, its return value is 0. If the nanosleep() function returns because it has been interrupted by a signal, the function returns a value of -1 and sets errno to indi- cate the interruption. If the rmtp argument is non-NULL, the timespec structure referenced by it is updated to contain the amount of time remaining in the interval (the requested time minus the time actually slept). If the rmtp argument is NULL, the remaining time is not returned. If nanosleep() fails, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The nanosleep() function will fail if: EINTR The nanosleep() function was interrupted by a signal. EINVAL The rqtp argument specified a nanosecond value less than zero or greater than or equal to 1000 million. ENOSYS The nanosleep() function is not supported by this implementation. ATTRIBUTES
