TIMER_SETTIME(2) Linux Programmer's Guide TIMER_SETTIME(2)NAME
timer_settime - Set the time on a POSIX.1b interval timer
SYNOPSIS
long sys_timer_settime (timer_t timer_id, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *new_setting,
struct itimerspec *old_setting);
DESCRIPTION
time_settime arms the time and sets the time if the new_setting struct
member it_value is non-zero, until the next expiration of the timer
specified by timer_id. If the timer was already armed when timer_set‐
time was called, the call resets the time until the next expiration to
new_setting. If the it_value of new_setting is zero, then the timer is
disarmed. If old_setting is non-NULL, the function stores the previous
amount of time before the timer would have expired, or zero if the
timer was disarmed along withthe previous timer reload value in this
argument.
RETURN VALUE
timer_settime returns 0 on success. Otherwise, timer_settime returns
the errors listed in the "Errors" section.
ERRORS-EINVAL
An invalid timer_id value was specified.
-EFAULT
The new_setting valid is invalid.
