man usleep

usleep(X) suspends the execution of calling process for X microseconds
(10^-6 sec). The accuracy may not be (== is not) 100% due to the
multitasking nature of UNIX-type operating systems.

There are also setitimer() and getitimer()-functions that can be used
to get a callback-type timed action.
