Method System.Timer()->create()


Method create

void System.Timer(int|void fast)

Description

Create a new timer object. The timer keeps track of relative time with sub-second precision.

If fast is specified, the timer will not do system calls to get the current time but instead use the one maintained by pike. This will result in faster but somewhat more inexact timekeeping. Also, if your program never utilizes the pike event loop the pike maintained current time never change.
