I remember seeing this before, but my memory does not serve me well.
I need to implement a nap(2) similar to that found in SCO UNIX
and SCO XENIX under AT&T Unix which allows me to sleep < 1 sec.
I have both SCO and AT&T UNIX for i386.
AT&T UNIX has no such animal. I was going to fake it by using
a streams device and use its timeout ability in the POLL(2)
but it is a kludgy hack I prefer not to put my name on.
Besides I think the stream would have to be a real physical
device and I don't have one I can just give up)
If anyone has done this before and can point me at a starting
place, or give me a short outline of what is required I would
really appreciate it.
Email would be best as I don't get to read news consistently these
days. Probably how i missed the solution (if there was one) in
the first place.
