36/** @defgroup grp_rt_timer RTTimer - Timer
37 *
38 * The IPRT timer API provides a simple abstraction of recurring and one-shot callback timers.
39 *
40 * Because of the great variation in the native APIs and the quality of
41 * the service delivered by those native APIs, the timers are operated
42 * on at best effort basis.
43 *
44 * All the ring-3 implementations are naturally at the mercy of the scheduler,
45 * which means that the callback rate might vary quite a bit and we might skip
46 * ticks. Many systems have a restriction that a process can only have one
47 * timer. IPRT currently makes no efforts at multiplexing timers in those kind
48 * of situations and will simply fail if you try to create more than one timer.
49 *
50 * Things are generally better in ring-0. The implementations will use interrupt
51 * time callbacks wherever available, and if not, resort to a high priority
52 * kernel thread.
