58  * timers.h - interface to timers and timer sets.
59  *
60  * Timers can be set to elapse after a specified number of seconds
61  * (the "interval"). They can be stopped before elapsing, and the
62  * interval can be changed.
63  *
64  * An "output list" is defined for each timer. When it elapses, an
65  * event is generated on this list. The event may be removed from
66  * the output list if the timer is destroyed or extended before the
67  * event is consumed.
68  *
69  * The event to use when a timer elapses is provided by the caller.
70  * The timer module will "own" it, and be responsible for deallocation.
71  * This will be true until the event has been consumed from the output
72  * list (at which point it is owned by the consuming thread).
73  * While the event is on the output list, it is in a gray area, because
74  * the timer module might still take it back. This won't be a problem
75  * as long as you access the event only by consuming it.
76  *
77  * Timers work best if the thread that manipulates the timer (the
78  * "calling thread") is the same thread that consumes the output list.
79  * This way, it can be guaranteed that the calling thread will not
80  * see a timer elapse after being destroyed, or while being extended,
81  * because the elapse event will be deleted during such an operation.
82  *
83  * The timer_* functions have been renamed to gwtimer_* to avoid
84  * a name conflict on Solaris systems.
