Module Uwt.Timer

module Timer: sig .. end

Timer handles are used to schedule callbacks to be called in the future.

type t

include Uwt.Handle

val to_handle : t -> Uwt.Handle.t

val sleep : int -> unit Lwt.t

sleep d is a thread that remains suspended for d milliseconds and then terminates.

val start : repeat:int ->
       timeout:int -> cb:(t -> unit) -> t uv_result

Timers, that are executed only once (repeat=0), are automatically closed. After their callback have been executed, their handles are invalid. Call close to stop a repeating timer
