`IP_PulseTimed`

IP_PulseTimed — sets up timers to trigger pulses.

Syntax

#include <cogent.h>
timer_t IP_PulseTimed( int   pulse, 
  time_t   init_sec, 
  time_t   init_nsec, 
  time_t   interval_sec, 
  time_t   interval_nsec);

Arguments

pulse: A pulse ID as generated by IP_PulseNew.
init_sec: Seconds of delay prior to the first timer expiry.
init_nsec: Nanoseconds of delay prior to the first timer expiry.
interval_sec: Seconds of delay for subsequent timing intervals.
interval_nsec: Nanoseconds of delay for subsequent timing intervals.

Returns

A timer identifier on success, or -1 on failure and errno is set.

Description

This function causes a pulse to be triggered after a given number of init_sec + init_nsec, and then to trigger on a regular interval every interval_sec + interval_nsec thereafter.
