|
|
.In time.h
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn timer_create
|
|
system call creates a per-process timer using the specified clock,
|
|
.Fa clock_id ,
|
|
as the timing base.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn timer_create
|
|
system call returns, in the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa timerid ,
|
|
a timer ID of type
|
|
.Vt timer_t
|
|
used to identify the timer in timer requests.
|
|
This timer ID is unique within the calling process until the timer is deleted.
|
|
The particular clock,
|
|
.Fa clock_id ,
|
|
is defined in
|
|
.In time.h .
|
|
The timer whose ID is returned is in a disarmed state upon return from
|
|
.Fn timer_create .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa evp
|
|
argument, if
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
|
|
points to a
|
|
.Vt sigevent
|
|
structure.
|
|
This structure,
|
|
allocated by the application, defines the asynchronous notification to occur
|
|
when the timer expires.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa evp->sigev_notify
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_SIGNO
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_THREAD_ID ,
|
|
the signal specified in
|
|
.Fa evp->sigev_signo
|
|
will be sent to the calling process
|
|
.Pq Dv SIGEV_SIGNO
|
|
or to the thread whose LWP ID is
|
|
.Fa evp->sigev_notify_thread_id
|
|
.Pq Dv SIGEV_THREAD_ID .
|
|
The information for the queued signal will include:
|
|
.Bl -column ".Va si_value"
|
|
.It Sy Member Ta Sy Value
|
|
.It Va si_code Ta Dv SI_TIMER
|
|
.It Va si_value Ta
|
|
the value stored in
|
|
.Fa evp->sigev_value
|
|
.It Va si_timerid Ta timer ID
|
|
.It Va si_overrun Ta timer overrun count
|
|
.It Va si_errno Ta
|
|
If timer overrun is
|
|
.Brq Dv DELAYTIMER_MAX ,
|
|
an error code defined in
|
|
.In errno.h
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa evp
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the effect is as if the
|
|
.Fa evp
|
|
argument pointed to a
|
|
.Vt sigevent
|
|
structure with the
|
|
.Va sigev_notify
|
|
member having the value
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_SIGNAL ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Va sigev_signo
|
|
having a default signal number
|
|
.Pq Dv SIGALRM ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Va sigev_value
|
|
member having
|
|
the value of the timer ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This implementation supports a
|
|
.Fa clock_id
|
|
of
|
|
.Dv CLOCK_REALTIME
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv CLOCK_MONOTONIC .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa evp->sigev_notify
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SIGEV_THREAD
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa sev->sigev_notify_attributes
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
if the attribute pointed to by
|
|
.Fa sev->sigev_notify_attributes
|
|
has
|
|
a thread stack address specified by a call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_attr_setstack
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn pthread_attr_setstackaddr ,
|
|
the results are unspecified if the signal is generated more than once.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the call succeeds,
|
|
.Fn timer_create
|
|
returns zero and updates the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa timerid
|
|
to a
|
|
.Vt timer_t ,
|
|
which can be passed to the per-process timer calls.
|
|
If an error
|
|
occurs, the system call returns a value of \-1
|
|
and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the
|
|
error.
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa timerid
|
|
is undefined if an error occurs.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn timer_create
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The calling process has already created all of the timers it is allowed by
|
|
this implementation.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The specified clock ID is not supported.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The specified asynchronous notification method is not supported.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
Any arguments point outside the allocated address space or there is a
|
|
memory protection fault.
