Re: [Dev-C++] sleep() in unistd.h ??

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It's in milliseconds, but of course all a sleep function can do is
guarantee a MINIMUM sleeping time. In case other processes gets scheduled
to run, the sleeping process might have to wait slightly longer than the
specified time interval.

However, it is extremely rare that you get more than a couple of tenth of
seconds extra delay before being allowed to run. Was there any problem
recompiling the application between the test runs?

For long delays, you can just specify larger delay numbers until you reach
the numerical limit of the input parameter. For even longer delays, you
must do a loop with multiple sleep calls.
