**  NAME
**
**      rpctimer.h
**
**  FACILITY:
**
**      Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
**
**  ABSTRACT:
**
**  Interface to NCK timer functions.
**
**  Suggested uasge:  These routines are tailored for the situation
**  in which a monitor routine is needed to keep track of the state
**  of a data structure.  In this case, one of the fields in the data
**  structure should be a rpc_timer_t (defined below).  The user of the
**  timer service would then call the rpc__timer_set routine with the
**  following arguments:
**
**      1) the address of the rpc_timer_t variable
**      2) the address of the routine to run
**      3) a dce_pointer_t value to be sent to the routine when run
**      4) the frequency with which the routine should be run
**
**  The pointer value used will most often be the address of the data
**  structure being monitored.  (However, it also possible to declare
**  a global rpc_timer_t to be used to periodically run a routine not
**  associated with any particular data object.  N.B.  It is necessary
**  that the rpc_timer_t variable exist during the entire time that the
**  periodic routine is registered to run;  that is, don't declare it on
**  the stack if the current routine will return before unregistering the
**  periodic routine.)
**
**  Users of this service should not keep track of time by the frequency
**  with which their periodic routines are run.  Aside from the lack of
**  accuracy of user space time functions, it is also possible that the
**  system's idea of the current time may be changed at any time.  When
**  necessary, the routines currently err in favor of running a periodic
**  routine too early rather than too late.  For this reason, data
**  struture monitoring should follow this outline:
**
**      struct {
**          .....
**          rpc_clock_t        timestamp;
**          rpc_timer_t        timer;
**          .....
**      } foo;
**
**      rpc__clock_stamp( &foo.timestamp );
**
**      rpc__timer_set( &foo.timer, foo_mon, &foo, rpc_timer_sec(1) );
**          ...
**
**      void foo_mon( parg )
**      dce_pointer_t parg;
**      {
**          if( rpc__clock_aged( parg->timestamp, rpc_timer_sec( 1 ) )
**          {
**            ...
**          }
**      }
**
