linux定时器 --setitimer 的用法_set

struct itimerval {

               struct timeval it_interval; /* 每隔多长时间触发定时器*/
                struct timeval it_value;    /* 当前触发的定时器 */
            };
            struct timeval {
                long tv_sec;                /* seconds */
                long tv_usec;               /* microseconds */
            };

定时器的时间到，定时器将it_value递减到0时，产生一个sigalrm信号

#define REFRESH_TIME 5

void set_refresh_time(int sec)
{
         struct itimerval nvalue;
        nvalue.it_value.tv_sec = sec;
        nvalue.it_value.tv_usec=0;
        nvalue.it_interval.tv_sec = sec;//每隔sec时间触发一次定时器
        nvalue.it_interval.tv_usec = 0;

/*此处使用的是ITIMER_REAL，所以对应的是SIGALRM信号*/

setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &nvalue, NULL);

}

/*定时器处理函数*/

void timer_handler(int msg)

{

        switch(msg)
        {
                case SIGALRM:
                        printf("to do someting when set timer is coming \n");
                        break;
                default:
                        break;
        }
        return;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int value;
        signal( SIGALRM, timer_handler);
        if(!argv[1])
        {
                printf("use default time %d\n", REFRESH_TIME);
                set_refresh_time(REFRESH_TIME);
        }
        else
        {
                value = atoi(argv[1]);
                set_refresh_time(value);
        }
        while(1)
        {
        }
}
