IXP_SETTIMER(3)

🌸 ixp_settimer 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the IXP_SETTIMER(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — it’s giving timer-girlie realness, and we’re gonna get you comfy with it. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

ixp_settimer — the little callback timer bestie. 🎀

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ixp.h>

long ixp_settimer(IxpServer *srv, long msec, void (*fn)(long, void *), void *aux);

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• msec — the timeout, in milliseconds. ⏳
• fn — the function to call after msec milliseconds have elapsed. 📞
• aux — an arbitrary argument to pass to fn when it is called. 🎁

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically, this initializes a callback-based timer that gets triggered after msec milliseconds. No cap. ⏰✨

And when the timer fires, it’s passed its id number and the value of aux. That’s the whole vibe. 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Returns the new timer’s unique id number. Iconic, honestly. 💫
