I am after a way to generate a pause of 300ns in a C program I am working
on. At the moment, I am using a for loop of about 700000 iterations..
works okay, but on a faster system it will die.. (needed to slow down I/O
with an interface card)
I was looking at the info page for libc (which seems to be broken.. I cant
go to other nodes from 'info libc') and found the timeval structure. It
looks like what I want, but I cant work it out.. can someone help?
something like:
void p_300ns()
{
struct timeval interval;
// assign interval its members here.. ??
long int start = interval->tv_usec;
do {
// assign interval its members here again
} while interval->tv_usec < start + 3<some zero's>;
// have to excuse my memory.. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what is nano ? micro
// is one millionth, nano is one something thousandth.. ??
}
