Timer

Hi /prog/,

I know intermediate level Visual Basic (yes i know it's AIDS) and am learning C. I'm just wondering if there's a way to implement timer like functionality in C and if there is how to go about it.

No, in ISO C you cannot have that.
You can, however use sleep() and nanosleep() in POSIX.1(b).
(and there are other techniques, using select(), or if you are aware of the kernel running, syscall())
