[iolib-devel] Additions to iolib-posix

[Faré]

;; (1) this code should be moved to iolib-posix and exported under some name...
(defun fsleep (delay)
  (when (plusp delay)
    (multiple-value-bind (i d) (floor delay)
      (unless (zerop i)
        ;; TODO: here insert check for overflow...
        (et::sleep i))
      (unless (zerop d)
        (et::usleep (floor (* d 1000000))))))
  nil)

;; (2) et::gettime should be exported

;; (3) unless we don't care about the inefficiency of calling gettime
many times, we should expose the deadline in polling, etc., because
that's what the application wants, anyway. At least mine.
