   2  * \defgroup timer Timer library
   3  *
   4  * The timer library provides functions for setting, resetting and
   5  * restarting timers, and for checking if a timer has expired. An
   6  * application must "manually" check if its timers have expired; this
   7  * is not done automatically.
   8  *
   9  * A timer is declared as a \c struct \c timer and all access to the
  10  * timer is made by a pointer to the declared timer.
  11  *
  12  * \note The timer library uses the \ref clock "Clock library" to
  13  * measure time. Intervals should be specified in the format used by
  14  * the clock library.
