Function Documentation

dwTimer_cancelAsync()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_cancelAsync

(

dwTimerHandle_t const

timer

)

Asynchronously cancels all scheduled work associated with this timer.

Parameters

[in]

timer

A handle to the timer

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided context handle is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the timer does not support this feature.
DW_SUCCESS if timer cancelled without any error.

dwTimer_cancelSync()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_cancelSync

(

dwTimerHandle_t const

timer

)

Synchronously cancels all scheduled work associated with this timer.

This call will allow pending work to complete for cancelling the job.

Parameters

[in]

timer

A handle to the timer

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided context handle is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the timer does not support this feature.
DW_SUCCESS if timer cancelled without any error.

dwTimer_initialize()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_initialize	(	dwTimerHandle_t *const	timer,
		char8_t const *const	timerName,
		dwContextHandle_t const	context
	)

Creates and initializes a DW Timer.

This method creates a timer instance and registers it with the primary time source for the context.

Parameters

[out]	timer	A pointer to the timer handle
[in]	timerName	Name of the timer, which will be associated with the created thread. Note maximal length is 16 (incl. null character). Any length above will be cut.
[in]	context	Specifies the handle to the context under which the timer should be created.

Returns

DW_INVALID_ARGUMENT if pointer to the timer handle is NULL. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided context is NULL or invalid. Provide a valid context pointer.
DW_SUCCESS if initialization is done without any error.

dwTimer_release()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_release

(

dwTimerHandle_t const

timer

)

Release the timer instance.

Parameters

[in]

timer

The timer handle

Returns

DW_INVALID_ARGUMENT if pointer to the timer handle is NULL. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided timer handle is invalid. Provide a valid timer handle.
DW_SUCCESS if timer released without any error.

dwTimer_scheduleTaskOneShot()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_scheduleTaskOneShot	(	dwTimerWork const	task,
		void *const	clientData,
		dwTime_t const	startTime,
		dwTimerHandle_t const	timer
	)

Scheduled a task to be run at a future time (non-recurring)

Parameters

[in]	task	Function pointer for the task to be executed
[in]	clientData	Pointer to data to be passed back to task
[in]	startTime	Time when the task should be activated
[in]	timer	Handle to the timer object

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided timer handle is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_CALL_NOT_ALLOWED if the task has been already scheduled.
DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the timer does not support this feature.
DW_FAILURE if the task scheduling failed.
DW_SUCCESS if timer scheduled without any error.

dwTimer_scheduleTaskRecurring()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwTimer_scheduleTaskRecurring	(	dwTimerWork const	task,
		void *const	clientData,
		dwTime_t const	startTime,
		dwTime_t const	period,
		dwTimerHandle_t const	timer
	)

Scheduled a task to be run at a future time (recurring)

Parameters

[in]	task	Function pointer for the task to be executed
[in]	clientData	Pointer to data to be passed back to task
[in]	startTime	Time when the task should be activated
[in]	period	Period at which to fire the task
[in]	timer	Handle to the timer object

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE if provided timer handle is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type. Provide a valid timer pointer.
DW_CALL_NOT_ALLOWED if the task has been already scheduled.
DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the timer does not support this feature.
DW_FAILURE if the task scheduling failed.
DW_SUCCESS if timer scheduled without any error.
