Timer Mechanisms With C and Linux

Timer mechanisms let you schedule the OS kernel to notify an application when a predetermined time has elapsed. You'll typically use them by providing two pieces of information. First, you'll need to specify how much time the timer should take before notifying. Secondly, you'll need to prepare a callback function to act when that notification occurs.
