This looks like what your looking for (if you are on unix or linux):

SLEEP(3) Linux
Programmer's Manual SLEEP(3)



NAME

sleep - Sleep for the specified number of seconds

SYNOPSIS

#include <unistd.h>

unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);

DESCRIPTION

sleep() makes the current process sleep until seconds seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.

RETURN VALUE

Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of seconds left
to sleep.

CONFORMING TO POSIX.1

BUGS

sleep() may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to alarm() and
sleep() is a bad idea.

Using longjmp() from a signal handler or modifying the handling of SIGALRM while sleeping will cause undefined results.

SEE ALSO

signal(2), alarm(2)

Im not much of a C programmer but i dont think windows would have unistd.h.

If your on windows check out MSDN:
