Примеры (Examples)

The following program creates a timer and then monitors its
       progress.  The program accepts up to three command-line
       arguments.  The first argument specifies the number of seconds
       for the initial expiration of the timer.  The second argument
       specifies the interval for the timer, in seconds.  The third
       argument specifies the number of times the program should allow
       the timer to expire before terminating.  The second and third
       command-line arguments are optional.

       The following shell session demonstrates the use of the program:

           $ a.out 3 1 100
           0.000: timer started
           3.000: read: 1; total=1
           4.000: read: 1; total=2
           ^Z                  # type control-Z to suspend the program
           [1]+  Stopped                 ./timerfd3_demo 3 1 100
           $ fg                # Resume execution after a few seconds
           a.out 3 1 100
           9.660: read: 5; total=7
           10.000: read: 1; total=8
           11.000: read: 1; total=9
           ^C                  # type control-C to suspend the program
