I agree that a descriptor interface to timer facilities is a Good Thing. I've been using AF_TIMER sockets for a decade now and they really are much more convenient than setitimer() for lots of uses. (Not API-compatible with timerfd; timerfds have read semantics that don't match sockets well.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
