Hello  all,

In attachment you can find an implementation of usleep. It was on the 
todo list, but on my debian I couldn't find a trace of it. Although its 
behavior can be mimiced by using the floating point-version of sleep 
it's actually more simple to have it functioning as a separate toy 
(usleep doesn't have the suffixes, nor the floating point input which 
sleep has).

When sleeping voor one second and one microsecond it translates into the 
following nanosleep call:

edb at lapedb:~/edb-stuff/toybox/toybox$ strace -e nanosleep  ./toybox 
usleep 1000001
nanosleep({1, 1000}, NULL)              = 0
