DCMD_PROC_TIMERS
QNX SDP8.0Programmer's GuideDeveloper
Get the timers owned by the process associated with the file descriptor.
#include <sys/procfs.h>
#define DCMD_PROC_TIMERS    (__DIOF(_DCMD_PROC, __PROC_SUBCMD_PROCFS + 23, procfs_timer))
The arguments to devctl() are:
| Argument | Value | 
|---|---|
| filedes | A file descriptor for the process. | 
| dcmd | DCMD_PROC_TIMERS | 
| dev_data_ptr | NULL, or an array of procfs_timer structures | 
| n_bytes | 0, or the size of the array | 
| dev_info_ptr | A pointer to an integer where the number of timers can be stored | 
Call this the first time with an argument of NULL to get the number of timers:
devctl( fd, DCMD_PROC_TIMERS, NULL, 0, &n);
Next, allocate a buffer that's large enough to hold a procfs_timer structure for each timer, and pass it to another devctl() call:
my_buffer = (procfs_timer *) malloc( sizeof(procfs_timer) * n;
if ( my_buffer == NULL ) {
  /* Not enough memory. */
}
devctl( fd, DCMD_PROC_TIMERS, my_buffer,
        sizeof(procfs_timer) * n, &dummy);
The procfs_timer structure is the same as the debug_timer_t structure, which is defined for 64-bit architectures as follows in <sys/debug.h>:
typedef struct _debug_timer64 {
  timer_t               id;
  unsigned              spare;
  struct _timer_info32  __info;
  struct _timer_info64  info;
} debug_timer64_t;
For information about the _timer_info structure, see the entry for TimerInfo() in the QNX OS C Library Reference.
