[PATCH] c-user: Generate Timer Manager documentation

Sebastian Huber sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de
Wed Dec 2 08:26:44 UTC 2020


The documentation is a consolidation of the comments in Doxygen markup
and the documentation sources in Sphinx markup.  The documentation was
transfered to interface specification items.  The documentation source
files were generated from the items by a script.

Update #3993.

-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive creates a timer.  The assigned timer id is returned in id.
-    This id is used to access the timer with other timer manager directives.
-    For control and maintenance of the timer, RTEMS allocates a TMCB from the
-    local TMCB free pool and initializes it.
-
-NOTES:
-    This directive will obtain the allocator mutex and may cause the calling
-    task to be preempted.
-
-    In SMP configurations, the processor of the currently executing thread
-    determines the processor used for the created timer.  During the life-time
-    of the timer this processor is used to manage the timer internally.
