No, there isn't.

At least, the C language doesn't define one.  Depending on your
operating system, it may not even be a reasonable question.  It is
possible that one is available under your operating system / C
implementation combination; I suggest (a) reading the manuals or if
that fails (b) enquiring in a newsgroup related to your operating
system.
