Short: Exec:Signal,PutMsg,Wait delayed Author: codex@studi.mathematik.hu-berlin.de (Hans Buehler) Uploader: codex@studi.mathematik.hu-berlin.de (Hans Buehler) Version: 1.00 Type: dev/misc ctimer.o 1.00 ------------- ctimer.o offers you functions similar to exec/Signal(), exec/PutMsg() and exec/Wait() except that they are "timed". That means that the PutMsg() or Signal() command will take part after a given time has passed by or that Wait() will wait for some signals only for a given time. These functions are useful for all operations that should be delayed or shouldn't block your process forever (as a Wait() to a signal that never appears ;^) You can do the following: Inform sub-process to do anything after 10s: ctimerPutMsg(Port,Msg,"timer",your_value * 10); etc. Contents -------- LIB/ctimer.o - object compiled using SAS/C INCLUDE/ctimer.h - include HELP/ctimer.guide - amigaguide ctimer.readme - this file Installation ------------ See the appropiate chapter in the guide.
