`IP_TimerTime`

IP_TimerTime — adjusts timer parameters.

Syntax

#include <cogent.h>
int IP_TimerTime( timer_t   timer, 
  int   absolute, 
  time_t   init_sec, 
  time_t   init_nsec, 
  time_t   interval_sec, 
  time_t   interval_nsec);

Arguments

timer: A timer ID, as returned by IP_PulseTimed.
absolute: 1 for absolute time, 0 for relative.
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

0 on success, or -1 on failure and errno is set.

Description

This function changes the times associated with the timer. If absolute is non-zero, then the init_sec and init_nsec fields are treated as the number of seconds and nanoseconds since 12:00 a.m. Jan 1, 1970 UTC. Otherwise, init_sec and init_nsec are treated as an offset from the current time.
