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

** FUNCTION: PR_SetAlarm
|
|
** DESCRIPTION:
|
|
** Creates a periodic notifier that is to be delivered to a specified
|
|
** function at some fixed interval.
|
|
** INPUTS: PRAlarm *alarm Parent alarm context
|
|
** PRIntervalTime period Interval over which the notifies
|
|
** are delivered.
|
|
** PRUint32 rate The rate within the interval that
|
|
** the notifies will be delivered.

|
|
** will be delivered.
|
|
** OUTPUTS: None
|
|
** RETURN: PRAlarmID* Handle to the notifier just created
|
|
** or NULL if the request failed.
|
|
**
|
|
** SIDE EFFECTS:
|
|
** A periodic notifier is created. The notifications will be delivered
|
|
** by the alarm's internal thread at a fixed interval whose rate is the
|
|
** number of interrupts per interval specified. The first notification
|
|
** will be delivered as soon as possible, and they will continue until
|
|
** the notifier routine indicates that they should cease of the alarm
|
|
** context is destroyed (PR_DestroyAlarm).
|
|
** RESTRICTIONS:
|
|
** None.
|
|
** MEMORY: Memory for the notifier object.
|
|
** ALGORITHM: The rate at which notifications are delivered are stated
|
|
** to be "'rate' notifies per 'interval'". The exact time of
|
|
** the notification is computed based on a epoch established
|
|
** when the notifier was set. Each notification is delivered
|
|
** not ealier than the epoch plus the fixed rate times the
|
|
** notification sequence number. Such notifications have the
|
|
** potential to be late by not more than 'interval'/'rate'.
|
|
** The amount of lateness of one notification is taken into
|
|
** account on the next in an attempt to avoid long term slew.
