Making a program sleep for milliseconds

Question

I've been usin POSIX sleep(x) function to make my program sleep for x seconds. But I need to make it sleep for x milliseconds in C++? Any way I can do this?

Answer 1

There are no standard C API's that can make your program sleep in milliseconds. so you will have to use usleep(on unix systems) which accepts microseconds:

#include <unistd.h>

unsigned int microseconds;
...
usleep(microseconds);
