<h1>Timer library</h1><hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The timer library provides functions for setting, resetting and restarting timers, and for checking if a timer has expired.
<p>
An application must "manually" check if its timers have expired; this is not done automatically.<p>
A timer is declared as a <code>struct</code> <code>timer</code> and all access to the timer is made by a pointer to the declared timer.<p>
<dl compact><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd>The timer library uses the <a class="el" href="a00157.html">Clock library</a> to measure time. Intervals should be specified in the format used by the clock library. </dd></dl>

Reset the timer with the same interval.
<p>
This function resets the timer with the same interval that was given to the <a class="el" href="a00156.html#g6614d96fdfcd95c95ec6e6f63071ff51">timer_set()</a> function. The start point of the interval is the exact time that the timer last expired. Therefore, this function will cause the timer to be stable over time, unlike the timer_rester() function.<p>
