I also think that the work of POSIX.1b (Section 14: Clocks and Timers) should be considered.
I couldn't find a URL for a copy of this on the Web, anyone have a link? FWIW, Many of the calls from this standard can be viewed from the man pages of Compac Unix available on the web at http://btrzxd.fddi.uni-bayreuth.de/MAN/MAN3/INDEX.HTM For example click through to clock_* fucntions and timer_* functions.
