Dear Sir;
I am porting an application from HP-UX to Linux
the sleep call does not work as it should.
In man 3 sleep is declared to accept unsigned in sec. but it does not. (
2^32 - 1 sec )
I used a sleep forever as follows:
if ( true )
{
do
{
sleep ( 4000000000 );
}
while ( 1 );
}
I use the loop in case a signal hits the sleep call.
The sleep call returns immediately and the loop eats up all my CPU time.
Of course I know how to work around but still ...
What is wrong with the sleep call ?
Sincerely
Ray Vaassen
