setitimer()函数使用

setitimer()为Linux的API,并非C语言的Standard Library,setitimer()有两个功能,一是指定一段时间后,才执行某个function,二是每间格一段时间就执行某个function,以下程序demo如何使用setitimer()。

/*  
Filename    : timer.cpp 
  
Description : setitimer() set the interval to run function 
 
Synopsis    : #include <sys/time.h> 
 
              int setitimer(int which, const struct itimerval *value, struct itimerval *ovalue); 
 
              struct itimerval { 
 
                struct timerval it_interval; 
 
                struct timerval it_value; 
 
              };  
  
              struct timeval { 
 
                long tv_sec; 
 
                long tv_usec; 
 
              }              
*/  
 
#include <stdio.h>    // for printf()  
 
#include <unistd.h>   // for pause()  
 
#include <signal.h>   // for signal()  
 
#include <string.h>   // for memset()  
 
#include <sys/time.h> // struct itimeral. setitimer()  
  
    
void printMsg(int);  
    
int main() {  
  
  // Get system call result to determine successful or failed  
  int res = 0;  
  
  // Register printMsg to SIGALRM   
  signal(SIGALRM, printMsg);  
  
  struct itimerval tick;  
  
  // Initialize struct    
  memset(&tick, 0, sizeof(tick));  
  
  // Timeout to run function first time    
  tick.it_value.tv_sec = 1;  // sec  
  
  tick.it_value.tv_usec = 0; // micro sec.  
  
  // Interval time to run function   
  tick.it_interval.tv_sec = 1;  
  
  tick.it_interval.tv_usec = 0;  
  
  // Set timer, ITIMER_REAL : real-time to decrease timer,  
  
  //                          send SIGALRM when timeout  
  
  res = setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &tick, NULL);    
  if (res) {  
  
    printf("Set timer failed!!/n");  
  
  }  
    
  // Always sleep to catch SIGALRM signal  
  
  while(1) {  
  
    pause();  
  
  }  
  
  return 0;    
  }  
    
void printMsg(int num) {  
  
  printf("%s","Hello World!!/n");  
  
}  

当setitimer()所执行的timer时间到了,会呼叫SIGALRM signal,itimerval.it_value设定第一次执行function所延迟的秒数, itimerval.it_interval设定以后每几秒执行function,所以若只想延迟一段时间执行function,只要设定 itimerval.it_value即可,若要设定间格一段时间就执行function,则it_value和it_interval都要设定,否则 funtion的第一次无法执行,就别说以后的间隔执行了。
