【Linux】延时函数sleep、usleep、nanosleep、select、pselect的比较

本文主要是介绍【Linux】延时函数sleep、usleep、nanosleep、select、pselect的比较，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！

1、简介

sleep()-------以秒为单位
#include<unistd.h>
unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);
return：若进程暂停到参数seconds 所指定的时间，成功则返回0，若有信号中断则返回剩余秒数。
在linux中，sleep是通过nanosleep实现的。在一些其他系统中（例如POSIX.1），它是通过alarm()来实现的。

usleep()----以微秒为单位
#include<unistd.h>
unsigned int usleep(unsigned int useconds);
return：若进程暂停到参数seconds 所指定的时间，成功则返回0，若有信号中断则返回剩余微秒数。

nanosleep( )---------以纳秒为单位
#include<time.h>
struct timespec
{
time_t tv_sec; /* 秒seconds /
long tv_nsec; / 纳秒nanoseconds */
};
int nanosleep(const struct timespec req, struct timespec rem);
return: 若进程暂停到参数req所指定的时间，成功则返回0，若有信号中断则返回-1，并且将剩余微秒数记录在rem中。
req->tv_sec是以秒为单位，而tv_nsec以毫微秒为单位（10的-9次方秒）。
由于调用nanosleep是是进程进入TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE,这种状态是会相应信号而进入TASK_RUNNING状态的。

2、注意

使用这些函数时一定要注意判断返回值。有时候会出现sleep函数被系统中断的情况，导致结果不符合预期。
while (nanosleep(&ts, &ts) == -1 && errno == EINTR) {}

3、精确度对比

低精度情况（100000us及以上）：usleep和nanosleep表现差不多。select和pselect表现较差。
高精度情况（100000us及以上）：四者表现差不多。
