Along with UTIME if you really need accurate performance then check
out KURT (KU Real Time Linux) at http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/kurt
as far as the problem with the man page goes, i think what they meant
to say was that the timeout specified will be the amount of time that
the process will sleep if none of the file descriptors are ready...
its kind of misleading but i dont know how it can be corrected...
BTW I think the linux implementation of select (ie adding an extra
jiffy and rounding to the higher value) is the correct implementation of
the Posix standard...so i would think the other UNIXs are wrong...
(especially since most of the timer library calls use select to implement
the sleeping)
