<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_add_time()</function> adds a new timer
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
event source to an event loop. The event loop object is specified
|
|
|
|
in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, the event source
|
|
|
|
object is returned in the <parameter>source</parameter>
|
|
|
|
parameter. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter takes a
|
|
|
|
clock identifier, one of <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>,
|
|
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>,
|
|
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant>,
|
|
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant> or
|
2014-05-06 16:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>. See
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timerfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
for details regarding the various types of clocks. The
|
|
|
|
<parameter>usec</parameter> parameter takes a time value in
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
microseconds (µs), relative to the clock's epoch, specifying when
|
|
|
|
the timer shall elapse the earliest. If a time that already lies
|
|
|
|
in the past is specified (including 0), the timer source is
|
|
|
|
dispatched immediately in the next event loop iterations. The
|
2014-05-06 16:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<parameter>accuracy</parameter> parameter takes an additional
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
accuracy value in µs specifying a time the timer event may be
|
|
|
|
delayed. Specify 0 for selecting the default accuracy
|
|
|
|
(250ms). Specify 1µs for most accurate timers. Consider specifying
|
|
|
|
60000000µs or larger (1min) for long-running events that may be
|
2014-05-06 16:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
delayed substantially. Picking higher accuracy values allows the
|
|
|
|
system to coalesce timer events more aggressively, thus improving
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
power efficiency. The <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter
|
|
|
|
shall reference a function to call when the timer elapses. The
|
|
|
|
handler function will be passed the
|
|
|
|
<parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
|
|
|
|
freely by the caller. The handler is also passed the configured
|
|
|
|
time it was triggered, however it might actually have been called
|
|
|
|
at a slightly later time, subject to the specified accuracy value,
|
|
|
|
the kernel timer slack (see
|
2014-05-06 16:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>prctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
and additional scheduling latencies. To query the actual time the
|
|
|
|
handler was called use
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_now</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
2014-09-25 21:27:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>By default, the timer will elapse once
|
|
|
|
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>), but this may be changed
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
|
|
If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
disabled after the invocation, even if the
|
|
|
|
<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before. Note
|
|
|
|
that a timer event set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> will
|
2015-12-26 17:25:49 +00:00
|
|
|
fire continuously unless its configured time is updated using
|
2015-11-19 22:38:54 +00:00
|
|
|
<function>sd_event_source_set_time()</function>.

but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
|
|

|
when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
|
|
|
|
an event source does not fire anymore, even when there's still a

reference to it kept, consider setting the event source to

|
|

|

update the timer's trigger time with
