+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+nanosleep
+\(em high resolution sleep
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <time.h>
+.P
+int nanosleep(const struct timespec *\fIrqtp\fP, struct timespec *\fIrmtp\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function shall cause the current thread to be suspended from execution
+until either the time interval specified by the
+.IR rqtp
+argument has elapsed or a signal is delivered to the calling thread,
+and its action is to invoke a signal-catching function or to terminate
+the process. The suspension time may be longer than requested because
+the argument value is rounded up to an integer multiple of the sleep
+resolution or because of the scheduling of other activity by the
+system. But, except for the case of being interrupted by a signal, the
+suspension time shall not be less than the time specified by
+.IR rqtp ,
+as measured by the system clock CLOCK_REALTIME.
+.P
+The use of the
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function has no effect on the action or blockage of any signal.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+If the
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function returns because the requested time has elapsed, its return
+value shall be zero.
+.P
+If the
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function returns because it has been interrupted by a signal, it
+shall return a value of \(mi1 and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the interruption. If the
+.IR rmtp
+argument is non-NULL, the
+.BR timespec
+structure referenced by it is updated to contain the amount of time
+remaining in the interval (the requested time minus the time actually
+slept). The
+.IR rqtp
+and
+.IR rmtp
+arguments may point to the same object. If the
+.IR rmtp
+argument is NULL, the remaining time is not returned.
+.P
+If
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+fails, it shall return a value of \(mi1 and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINTR
+The
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function was interrupted by a signal.
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The
+.IR rqtp
+argument specified a nanosecond value less than zero or greater than or
+equal to 1\|000 million.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+It is common to suspend execution of a thread for an interval in order
+to poll the status of a non-interrupting function. A large number of
+actual needs can be met with a simple extension to
+\fIsleep\fR()
+that provides finer resolution.
+.P
+In the POSIX.1\(hy1990 standard and SVR4, it is possible to implement such a routine,
+but the frequency of wakeup is limited by the resolution of the
+\fIalarm\fR()
+and
+\fIsleep\fR()
+functions. In 4.3 BSD, it is possible to write such a routine using
+no static storage and reserving no system facilities. Although it is
+possible to write a function with similar functionality to
+\fIsleep\fR()
+using the remainder of the
+.IR timer_* (\|)
+functions, such a function requires the use of signals and the
+reservation of some signal number. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 requires that
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+be non-intrusive of the signals function.
+.P
+The
+\fInanosleep\fR()
+function shall return a value of 0 on success and \(mi1 on failure or if
+interrupted. This latter case is different from
+\fIsleep\fR().
+This was done because the remaining time is returned via an argument
+structure pointer,
+.IR rmtp ,
+instead of as the return value.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
