Async timer lib

Accuracy

Regular timers that do not rely on async event loop tend to be on par with user space timers like in tokio. If that's not suitable for you you should enable event loop based timers which in most cases give you the most accurate timers possible on unix platforms (See features.)

Timers

• Timer interface to one-shot Platform Timer, may require event loop.
• SyncTimer interface to one-shot Platform Timer, does not require event loop.

Primitives

• Timed - A wrapper over future that allows to limit time for the future to resolve.
• Interval - Periodic timer, that on each completition returns itself to poll once again with the same interval.

Features

• tokio02 - Enables event loop based timers using tokio 0.2, providing higher accuracy than regular callback based timers on Linux/BSD/Apple platforms.
• tokio03 - Enables event loop based timers using tokio 0.3, providing higher resolution timer as tokio02.
• c_wrapper - Uses C shim to create bindings to platform API, which may be more reliable than libc.
