Struct mio_extras::timer::Timer [−][src]
pub struct Timer<T> { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
A timer.
Typical usage goes like this:
- register the timer with a
mio::Poll
. - set a timeout, by calling
Timer::set_timeout
. Here you provide some state to be associated with this timeout. - poll the
Poll
, to learn when a timeout has occurred. - retrieve state associated with the timeout by calling
Timer::poll
.
You can omit use of the Poll
altogether, if you like, and just poll the
Timer
directly.
Implementations
Set a timeout.
When the timeout occurs, the given state becomes available via poll
.
Cancel a timeout.
If the timeout has not yet occurred, the return value holds the associated state.
