Function Documentation

◆ rte_eal_alarm_set()

int rte_eal_alarm_set	(	uint64_t	us,
		rte_eal_alarm_callback	cb,
		void *	cb_arg
	)

Function to set a callback to be triggered when us microseconds have expired. Accuracy of timing to the microsecond is not guaranteed. The alarm function will not be called before the requested time, but may be called a short period of time afterwards. The alarm handler will be called only once. There is no need to call "rte_eal_alarm_cancel" from within the callback function.

Parameters

us	The time in microseconds before the callback is called
cb	The function to be called when the alarm expires
cb_arg	Pointer parameter to be passed to the callback function

Returns: On success, zero. On failure, a negative error number

Examples: examples/l2fwd-jobstats/main.c.

◆ rte_eal_alarm_cancel()

int rte_eal_alarm_cancel	(	rte_eal_alarm_callback	cb_fn,
		void *	cb_arg
	)

Function to cancel an alarm callback which has been registered before. If used outside alarm callback it wait for all callbacks to finish execution.
