[9]1/* This library provides generic watchdog timer management functionality.
2 * The functions operate on a timer queue provided by the caller. Note that
3 * the timers must use absolute time to allow sorting. The library provides:
4 *
5 * tmrs_settimer: (re)set a new watchdog timer in the timers queue
6 * tmrs_clrtimer: remove a timer from both the timers queue
7 * tmrs_exptimers: check for expired timers and run watchdog functions
8 *
9 * Author:
10 * Jorrit N. Herder <jnherder@cs.vu.nl>
11 * Adapted from tmr_settimer and tmr_clrtimer in src/kernel/clock.c.
12 * Last modified: September 30, 2004.
