79 * This module defines the types and functions to abstract clocks and

89 *************************/
94 * Get the time from a clock
96 * This function sets the variable pointed to by current_time to the
97 * current value of the clock specified by clockid, which may be the
98 * FOSA_CLOCK_REALTIME constant or a value obtained with
99 * fosa_get_cputime_clock()
101 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
102 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of clockid is invalid
104 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to
105 * notify it to the system console and then terminate the FRSH

112 * fosa_get_cputime_clock()
114 * Get the identifier of a cpu-time clock
116 * This function stores in the variable pointed to by clockid the
117 * identifier of a cpu-time clock for the thread specified by tid.
119 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
120 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of tid is invalid
122 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to

129 /*************************
131 *************************/
134 * fosa_timer_create()
136 * Create a one-shot timer
138 * This function creates a timer based on the clock specified by clock,
139 * and associates to this timer a notification mechanism consisting of
140 * a signal and associated information. Initially, the timer is in the
141 * disarmed state, i.e., not counting time. It can be armed to start
142 * counting time with fosa_timer_arm().
144 * The function stores the identifier of the newly created timer in the
145 * variable pointed to by timerid.
147 * When the timer expires, the signal number specified by signal will be
148 * sent together with the information specified by info, to the thread
149 * that armed the timer (@see fosa_timer_arm()).
151 * In those implementations that do not support queueing a
152 * signal with information to a thread (such as POSIX), the signal may
153 * be sent to any thread that is waiting for this signal via
154 * fosa_signal_wait(). Portability can be ensured by having the receiver
155 * thread be the one who is waiting for the signal.
157 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
158 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of clockid or signal is invalid
160 * FOSA_EAGAIN: the system lacks enough resources to create the timer
162 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to
163 * notify it to the system console and then terminate the FRSH
164 * implementation and dependant applications

167 (fosa_clock_id_t clockid, fosa_signal_t signal, fosa_signal_info_t info,

171 * fosa_timer_create_with_receiver()
173 * Create a one-shot timer with a specific signal receiver thread
175 * This function creates a timer in the same way as fosa_timer_create,
176 * except that the signal generated when the timer expires is sent to
177 * the thread specified by receiver
179 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
180 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of clockid or signal is invalid
182 * FOSA_EAGAIN: the system lacks enough resources to create the timer
184 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to

189 (fosa_clock_id_t clockid, fosa_signal_t signal, fosa_signal_info_t info,

193 * fosa_timer_delete()
197 * The function deletes the timer specified by timerid, which becomes
198 * unusable. If the timer was armed, it is automatically disarmed before
201 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
202 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of timerid is not valid
204 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to
205 * notify it to the system console and then terminate the FRSH
206 * implementation and dependant applications
208 int fosa_timer_delete(fosa_timer_id_t timerid);
215 * The timer specified by timer is armed and starts counting time.
217 * If abstime is true, the value pointed to by value is the absolute
218 * time at which the timer will expire. If value specifies a time instant
219 * in the past, the timer expires immediately.
221 * If abstime is false, the value pointed to by value is the relative interval
222 * that must elapse for the timer to expire.
224 * In both cases, absolute or relative, the time is measured with the clock
225 * associated with the timer when it was created.
227 * If the timer was already armed, the previous time or interval is discarded
228 * and the timer is rearmed with the new value.
230 * When the timer expires, it is disarmed.
232 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
233 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of timerid or value is invalid
235 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to
236 * notify it to the system console and then terminate the FRSH
237 * implementation and dependant applications
240 (fosa_timer_id_t timerid, bool abstime,
241 const struct timespec *value);
244 * fosa_timer_get_remaining_time()
246 * Get the remaining time for timer expiration
248 * Returns the relative remaining time for timer expiration. If the
249 * clock is a CPU clock it returns the time as if the thread was
250 * executing constantly.
252 * If the timer is disarmed it returns 0.
254 * Returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns an error code:
255 * FOSA_EINVAL: the value of timerid or value is invalid
257 * Alternatively, in case of error the implementation is allowed to

262 (fosa_timer_id_t timerid, struct timespec *remaining_time);
265 * fosa_timer_disarm()
267 * Disarm a timer and optionally obtain remaining time before expiration
269 * The timer specified by timer is disarmed, and will not expire unless
270 * it is rearmed. If the timer was already disramed, the function has
273 * If the pointer remaining_time is != NULL, the remaining time before
274 * expiration will be returned in that pointer. If the timer was
