linux进程延时,linux应用程序中的延时和定时器

笔记：

在linux应用程序中延时有sleep()、msleep()和usleep()函数之类的延时，也有如下形式的延时：

struct timeval delay;

delay.tv_sec = sleepSecond;

delay.tv_usec = 0;

select( 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &delay );

但是基本上都是基于进程休眠的，好像没有循环等待的延时，有待证实，目前没发现。

考虑到一个问题，如果定时发送信号，执行相应一个信号处理函数时，该函数还么有执行完成，另一个信号又来了，怎么处理呢？答案是等待前面一个信号处理完成。

定时器配合kill函数一起使用，可以满足某些想立即执行又要有周期执行相应函数的特殊要求，如下：
