linux sleeping with clock_nanosleep

c++, clock, sleep

Solution

As far as I understand, I have to give an absolute time as input.

No, the `flags` argument allows you to choose relative or absolute time. You want

clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, &deadline, NULL);

to specify one microsecond from now.

Problem

I want to use clock_nanosleep for waiting of 1 microsec.. As far as I understand, I have to give an absolute time as input. Is the following code okay in this case? ``` deadline.tv_sec = 0; deadline.tv_nsec = 1000; clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME, &deadline, NULL); ```
