question about implicit declaration error

[michael]

Hi All,

I have the following:

#define MAX_SLEEP_TIME 1000
#include <unistd.h>

void do_sleep(){
unsigned int random;
while(TRUE){
srand(time(NULL)%getpid());
random = rand()%MAX_SLEEP_TIME;
if(random != 0) break;
}
usleep(random);
}

when I compile I get a warning that says "implicit declaration of usleep". I
thought usleep was declared in <unistd.h>

What have I got wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks for your help

Michael

This would be better asked on comp.unix.progammer.

Check the man-page for the function. For example, under Linux, the
synopsis is:

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 /* Or: #define _BSD_SOURCE */
#include <unistd.h>

int usleep(useconds_t usec);
