Hi folks!

I am looking for a system call that sets a process from Running into
Ready state so that the process is reactivated on its next time slice.

If there is a function that works like sleep(3), but accepts values
below one second, this should also do, if the sleep value is set below
the interval until the next timeslice reoccurs.

Thus, can anybody provide me the name of an appropriate system call
and/or a short program doing sleep with fractional values?

Thanks in advance
LB
