NAME

       tickit_watch_timer_after_* - invoke a callback after a fixed delay

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       typedef int TickitCallbackFn(Tickit *t, TickitEventflags flags,
           void *info, void *user);

       void *tickit_watch_timer_after_msec(Tickit *t, int msec,
           TickitBindFlags flags, TickitCallbackFn *fn, void *user);
       void *tickit_watch_timer_after_tv(Tickit *t, const struct timeval *after,
           TickitBindFlags flags, TickitCallbackFn *fn, void *user);

DESCRIPTION

       The  tickit_watch_timer_after_*()  family  of functions register a callback function to be
       invoked by the toplevel event loop a fixed delay afterwards. A registered callback will be
       invoked  by  a  running call to tickit_run(3). The callback function will be invoked once,
       and then destroyed afterwards. Each function returns an opaque pointer value which  serves
       to identify this instance. The info pointer will be NULL.

       When   invoked,   the   callback   function  is  always  passed  both  TICKIT_EV_FIRE  and
       TICKIT_EV_UNBIND flags to its flags argument. If the callback had been registered with the
       TICKIT_BIND_DESTROY  flag, then it will also be invoked with the TICKIT_EV_DESTROY flag if
       it has not yet been invoked by the time the toplevel instance is destroyed.

       If cancelled by tickit_watch_cancel(3) the callback function  is  invoked  with  just  the
       TICKIT_EV_UNBIND flag if it had been registered with TICKIT_BIND_UNBIND.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_watch_timer_after_msec()   and   tickit_watch_timer_after_tv()   return  an  opaque
       identifier pointer.
