Subject: [9fans] sleep(2) historical question
Topicbox-Message-UUID: e6fc014a-ead7-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

why is sleep(2) limited in resolution to HZ in the
portable code?  the underlying mechanism is often
much finer grained than HZ, and if there is a limit,
one would think that it's related to the hardware
mechanism, not the HZ clock.  i'm clearly missing
something.
