I want to wait for an event and timeout after a specific time period specified.
And it should also wait upon an event, on whose occurence it will conrtinue with the initial processing.
While waiting it should not use CPU cycles.
I want to know how to implement this.
just to be more clear,
say... sleep(5), when this is sleeping if in the 3rd second the event arrives it should go to its signal handler or whatever and continue with the initial processing before it started sleeping.
sleep can't be interrupted.
so how should I implement it?
Thanks. Gowri.
