NAME

       mktimer - allocate a per-process timer

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  function is used to allocate a per-process timer using the specified system-wide clock as the timing base.	returns an unique timer ID
       of type used to identify the timer in timer requests (see gettimer(3C)).  specifies the system-wide clock to be used as the timing base for
       the new timer.  specifies the mechanism by which the process is to be notified when the timer expires.

       supports one per-process timer with a of and of

       If is the system causes a signal to be sent to the process whenever the timer expires.

       For the machine-dependent clock resolution and maximum value are and seconds, respectively.  These constants are defined in

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, returns a which can be passed to the per_process timer calls.  If unsuccessful, returns a value of and sets to
       indicate the error.

	      [EAGAIN]	  The calling process has already allocated all of the timers it is allowed.

	      [EINVAL]	  is not defined, or does not allow the specified notification mechanism.
