pausing a thread in Unix

[Krusty]

I'm working with pthreads in Unix/Linux. I'm looking for a way to make just a single thread sleep. (Sleep() affects the whole process.) I found some references to pthread_delay_np() online, but it seems my system doesn't support this. Any other suggestions?

You can use this:

Code: Select all

#include <sys/time.h>

struct timeval timeout = {2, 500000}; // {seconds, microseconds}
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
