| 8 ** Description: API to periodic alarms. | |
| 9 ** | |
| 10 ** | |
| 11 ** Alarms are defined to invoke some client specified function at | |
| 12 ** a time in the future. The notification may be a one time event | |
| 13 ** or repeated at a fixed interval. The interval at which the next | |
| 14 ** notification takes place may be modified by the client code only | |
| 15 ** during the respective notification. | |
| 16 ** | |
| 17 ** The notification is delivered on a thread that is part of the | |
| 18 ** alarm context (PRAlarm). The thread will inherit the priority | |
| 19 ** of the Alarm creator. | |
| 20 ** | |
| 21 ** Any number of periodic alarms (PRAlarmID) may be created within | |
| 22 ** the context of a single alarm (PRAlarm). The notifications will be | |
| 23 ** scheduled as close to the desired time as possible. | |
| 24 ** | |
| 25 ** Repeating periodic notifies are expected to run at a fixed rate. | |
| 26 ** That rate is expressed as some number of notifies per period where | |
| 27 ** the period is much larger than a PRIntervalTime (see prinrval.h). | |

| 101 ** PRUint32 rate The rate within the interval that | |

| 108 ** | |
| 109 ** SIDE EFFECTS: | |
| 110 ** A periodic notifier is created. The notifications will be delivered | |
| 111 ** by the alarm's internal thread at a fixed interval whose rate is the | |
| 112 ** number of interrupts per interval specified. The first notification | |
| 113 ** will be delivered as soon as possible, and they will continue until | |
| 114 ** the notifier routine indicates that they should cease of the alarm | |
| 115 ** context is destroyed (PR_DestroyAlarm). | |
| 116 ** RESTRICTIONS: | |
| 117 ** None. | |
| 118 ** MEMORY: Memory for the notifier object. | |
| 119 ** ALGORITHM: The rate at which notifications are delivered are stated | |
| 120 ** to be "'rate' notifies per 'interval'". The exact time of | |
| 121 ** the notification is computed based on a epoch established | |
| 122 ** when the notifier was set. Each notification is delivered | |
| 123 ** not ealier than the epoch plus the fixed rate times the | |
| 124 ** notification sequence number. Such notifications have the | |
| 125 ** potential to be late by not more than 'interval'/'rate'. | |
| 126 ** The amount of lateness of one notification is taken into | |
| 127 ** account on the next in an attempt to avoid long term slew. | |
