I'm trying to use the Sleep() function in c++, but can't seem to find the correct header file. Anybody know what its called? Thanks ahead of time

Hey bud,

The header for this is windows.h.

Hope that helps,

Dave

sleep() is in <unistd.h>, but might also be found in <cstdlib>, possibly renamed _sleep() on Win32 platforms.

Sleep() is likely to be in <windows.h>

Has extra functionality been added to cstdlib over stdlib.h. I looked in K & R and there was no mention of the sleep function being in stdlib.h.

AFAIK, sleep() is POSIX, though not ISO. Its proper resting place is unistd.h, but Windows platform, although they claim some level of POSIX compliance, do not have that header.
