It depends what you need that timer for.

In gtk there's a g_timeout_add(). easy to use.

To writing your own:
`apropos pthread` and more specifically `man pthread_create`.

usleep() sleeps at least, and select() sleeps at most a certain period
of time. http://freej.dyne.org/codedoc/fps_8cpp_source.html line 132ff
has examples of both.
For [more] accurate timing: RTC or HPET. Example code comes
with the kernel:
 linux-2.6/Documentation/rtc.txt
 linux-2.6/Documentation/hpet.txt

There's a couple of other options fi. if you want to sync
hardware-devices using IRQs.. and the jack_process_callback is also very
good timer :)
