usleep

[Andrew Pogrebennyk]

Sharad,
Additionally, this C routine is considered obsolete (unlike shell
command by the same name). The interaction of this function with SIGALRM
and other timer functions such as sleep(), alarm(), setitimer(), and
nanosleep() is unspecified. Additionally, its use in multi-threaded
programs can lead to somewhat surprising results. Use nanosleep(2) or
setitimer(2) instead.
