glutTimerFunc(3GLUT)                 GLUT                 glutTimerFunc(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutTimerFunc  - registers a timer callback to be triggered in a speci-
       fied number of milliseconds.

SYNTAX
       void glutTimerFunc(unsigned int msecs,
                    void (*func)(int value), value);

ARGUMENTS
       msecs     Number of milliseconds to pass before calling the callback.

       func      The timer callback function.

       value     Integer value to pass to the timer callback.

DESCRIPTION
       glutTimerFunc registers the timer callback func to be triggered  in  at
       least  msecs  milliseconds.  The  value parameter to the timer callback
       will be the value of the value  parameter  to  glutTimerFunc.  Multiple
       timer callbacks at same or differing times may be registered simultane-
       ously.

       The number of milliseconds is a lower bound  on  the  time  before  the
       callback  is  generated. GLUT attempts to deliver the timer callback as
       soon as possible after the expiration of the callback's time  interval.

       There  is  no  support  for  canceling  a registered callback. Instead,
       ignore a callback based on its value parameter when it is triggered.
