Unix_Linux 的 nanosleep
nanosleep -暂停执行,在指定的时间
内容简介
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309#include
int nanosleep(const struct timespec *req, struct timespec *rem);
DESCRIPTION
nanosleep() delays the execution of the program for at least the time specified in*req. The function can return earlier if a signal has been delivered to the process. In this case, it returns -1, setserrnotoEINTR, and writes the remaining time into the structure pointed to byremunlessremis NULL. The value of*remcan then be used to callnanosleep() again and complete the specified pause.
The structure timespec is used to specify intervals of time with nanosecond precision. It is specified in and has the form
struct timespec {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
};
The value of the nanoseconds field must be in the range 0 to 999999999.
Compared to sleep(3) and usleep(3), nanosleep() has the advantage of not affecting any signals, it is standardized by POSIX, it provides higher timing resolution, and it allows to continue a sleep that has been interrupted by a signal more easily.
返回值
On successfully sleeping for the requested interval,nanosleep() returns 0. If the call is interrupted by a signal handler or encounters an error, then it returns -1, witherrnoset to indicate the error.

EINTR
The pause has been interrupted by a non-blocked signal that was delivered to the process. The remaining sleep time has been written into *rem so that the process can easily callnanosleep() again and continue with the pause.
EINVAL
The value in the tv_nsec field was not in the range 0 to 999999999 or tv_sec was negative.
BUGS
The current implementation ofnanosleep() is based on the normal kernel timer mechanism, which has a resolution of 1/HZs (seetime(7)). Therefore,nanosleep() pauses always for at least the specified time, however it can take up to 10 ms longer than specified until the process becomes runnable again. For the same reason, the value returned in case of a delivered signal in *remis usually rounded to the next larger multiple of 1/HZs.
Old behaviour
In order to support applications requiring much more precise pauses (e.g., in order to control some time-critical hardware),nanosleep() would handle pauses of up to 2 ms by busy waiting with microsecond precision when called from a process scheduled under a real-time policy likeSCHED_FIFOorSCHED_RR. This special extension was removed in kernel 2.5.39, hence is still present in current 2.4 kernels, but not in 2.6 kernels.
In Linux 2.4, if nanosleep() is stopped by a signal (e.g., SIGTSTP), then the call fails with the error EINTR after the process is resumed by a SIGCONT signal. If the system call is subsequently restarted, then the time that the process spent in the stopped state isnot counted against the sleep interval.
