Hi,

My requirement is to have a timer implementation using Pth library.

The call shown below causes the callback "func" to be called at the specified
timeout:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
main_func()
{
        pth_ev = pth_event(PTH_EVENT_FUNC, func, NULL, pth_timeout(0,
500000));
        pth_wait(pth_ev); /* Thread waits here . it is signalled from
callback - func*/
}

However, the execution of the main_func thread is blocked until it is
signalled which happens when the callback is called.

int func(void * arg)
{
/* In timer callback */
}

I need to have a timer implementation similar to timer_init, timer_add,
timer_settime etc....where the caller does not get blocked.
Is there a way of doing the same using Pth.?

Kind Regards,
Bhanu Kurpad
