I am trying to sleep at the microsecond level, which ssleep and msleep cannot provide. I couldn't find any other nanosleep method in the kernel.
I found information by searching the net on using jiffies to accomplish sleep periods, but that is not high enough in resolution.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks! George
