iowait function call
Hi all,
I have an Producer/Consumer program in C(using shared memory and semaphores).It is working fine with sleep calls after every read/write operation.Each one is a independent program.Now if i remove the sleep calls in consumer,it goes on waiting in the loop till the producer puts some valid data.Instead of doing this i was asked to call iowait() I am not aware how to use this function.Can anyone suggest some link abt this call and how to use it in the code.
Thanx in advance
