Hi

who can I sleep(less than a second with out eating up the cpu).
the code below works for seconds but not fraction of, but will eat the
cpu as I learned googling.
further, man sleep on linux does not take fraction of a second.

thanks


void wait ( int seconds )
{
clock_t endwait;
endwait = clock () + seconds * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
while (clock() < endwait) {}
}

int main(){
// will eat up the cpu for nothing
int n;
cout << "Starting countdown...\n";
for (n=10; n>0; n--)
{
cout << n << endl;
wait (1);
}
cout << "left off" << '\n';
}
