- Fellow Programmers: Is there any way around the 1/60 second clock
- resolution provided by such routines as setitimer and getitimer?
- I'd like to be able to schedule events on a finer schedule.
- Anyone doing this, particularly for audio applications?
-
- I guess a related question would be, are kernel routines also limited
- by the same 1/60 second clock resolution? If not, how do they get
- around it?
-
- Thanks for any info. I'll summarize.
