//! Timer API via signals.
//!
//! Timer is a POSIX API to create timers and get expiration notifications
//! through queued Unix signals, for the current process. This is similar to
//! Linux's timerfd mechanism, except that API is specific to Linux and makes
//! use of file polling.
//!
//! For more documentation, please read [timer_create](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/timer_create.html).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Create an interval timer that signals SIGALARM every 250 milliseconds.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use nix::sys::signal::{self, SigEvent, SigHandler, SigevNotify, Signal};
//! use nix::sys::timer::{Expiration, Timer, TimerSetTimeFlags};
//! use nix::time::ClockId;
//! use std::convert::TryFrom;
//! use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU64, Ordering};
//! use std::thread::yield_now;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! const SIG: Signal = Signal::SIGALRM;
//! static ALARMS: AtomicU64 = AtomicU64::new(0);
//!
//! extern "C" fn handle_alarm(signal: libc::c_int) {
//!     let signal = Signal::try_from(signal).unwrap();
//!     if signal == SIG {
//!         ALARMS.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let clockid = ClockId::CLOCK_MONOTONIC;
//!     let sigevent = SigEvent::new(SigevNotify::SigevSignal {
//!         signal: SIG,
//!         si_value: 0,
//!     });
//!
//!     let mut timer = Timer::new(clockid, sigevent).unwrap();
//!     let expiration = Expiration::Interval(Duration::from_millis(250).into());
//!     let flags = TimerSetTimeFlags::empty();
//!     timer.set(expiration, flags).expect("could not set timer");
//!
//!     let handler = SigHandler::Handler(handle_alarm);
//!     unsafe { signal::signal(SIG, handler) }.unwrap();
//!
//!     loop {
//!         let alarms = ALARMS.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
//!         if alarms >= 10 {
//!             println!("total alarms handled: {}", alarms);
//!             break;
//!         }
//!         yield_now()
//!     }
//! }

    ///
    ///   - interval delayed: the alarm will trigger after a certain amount of

    /// interval are going to be interpreted as absolute.
