/* timer.c --- daemon to provide a tagged interval timer service This little daemon runs forever waiting for signals. SIGIO (or SIGUSR1) causes it to read an event spec from stdin; that is, a date followed by colon followed by an event label. SIGALRM causes it to check its queue for events attached to the current second; if one is found, its label is written to stdout. SIGTERM causes it to terminate, printing a list of pending events. This program is intended to be used with the lisp package called timer.el. It was written anonymously in 1990. This version was documented and rewritten for portability by esr@snark.thyrsus.com, Aug 7 1992. */ #include #include #include /* FASYNC */ #include /* time_t */ #include "../src/config.h" #ifdef USG #undef SIGIO #define SIGIO SIGUSR1 #endif #ifdef LINUX /* Perhaps this is correct unconditionally. */ #undef signal #endif extern int errno; extern char *sys_errlist[], *malloc (); extern time_t time (); /* * The field separator for input.
