       Alarm functions

       Simple alarm-clock functionality supplied by eal. Does not require hpet support.

       Definition in file rte_alarm.h.

intrte_eal_alarm_set(uint64_tus,rte_eal_alarm_callbackcb,void*cb_arg)
       Function to set a callback to be triggered when us microseconds have expired. Accuracy of timing to the
       microsecond is not guaranteed. The alarm function will not be called before the requested time, but may
       be called a short period of time afterwards. The alarm handler will be called only once. There is no need
       to call 'rte_eal_alarm_cancel' from within the callback function.

       Parametersus The time in microseconds before the callback is called
           cb The function to be called when the alarm expires
           cb_arg Pointer parameter to be passed to the callback function

       Returns
           On success, zero. On failure, a negative error number

   intrte_eal_alarm_cancel(rte_eal_alarm_callbackcb_fn,void*cb_arg)
       Function to cancel an alarm callback which has been registered before. If used outside alarm callback it
       wait for all callbacks to finish execution.

       Parameterscb_fn alarm callback
           cb_arg Pointer parameter to be passed to the callback function. To remove all copies of a given
           callback function, irrespective of parameter, (void *)-1 can be used here.

       Returns

           • value  greater  than  0  and rte_errno not changed - returned value is the number of canceled alarm
             callback functions

           • value greater or equal 0 and rte_errno set to EINPROGRESS, at least one alarm could not be canceled
             because cancellation was requested from alarm callback context. Returned value  is  the  number  of
             successfully canceled alarm callbacks

           • 0 and rte_errno set to ENOENT - no alarm found

           • -1 and rte_errno set to EINVAL - invalid parameter (NULL callback)
