/** * \defgroup timer Timer library * * The timer library provides functions for setting, resetting and * restarting timers, and for checking if a timer has expired. An * application must "manually" check if its timers have expired; this * is not done automatically. * * A timer is declared as a \c struct \c timer and all access to the * timer is made by a pointer to the declared timer. * * \note The timer library uses the \ref clock "Clock library" to * measure time. Intervals should be specified in the format used by * the clock library. * * @{ */ /** * \file * Timer library header file. * \author * Adam Dunkels <adam@sics.se> */ /* * Copyright (c) 2004, Swedish Institute of Computer Science. * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions * are met: * 1.
