How to make a thread wake up and suspend for 500ms continuously in C

Question

I am using multiple threads in my program. I want a specific thread to be waken up after 500ms. How can I do that without using a usleep(500)?

Answer 1

The socket API like select can be used as a timer.

struct timeval tv;
tv.tv_sec = 0;
tv.tv_usec = 500;
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv);

You may need this choice.
