glutTimerFunc(3GLUT)                                GLUT                                glutTimerFunc(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutTimerFunc - registers a timer callback to be triggered in a specified 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. Mul-tiple Multiple
       tiple timer callbacks at same or differing times may be registered simultaneously.

       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.
