MODULE
       cl_timer

DESCRIPTION
       Timer functions.

UTILITY EXPORTS
       Timer utilities exports.

   tc_avg(Mod, Fun, Args, Times) -> Result
       Types

       Mod = atom()

       Fun = atom()

       Args = term()

       Times = int() > 0

       Result = {Min, Max, Med, Avg}

       Min = int()

       Max = int()

       Med = int()

       Avg = int()

       Evaluates apply(Mod, Fun, Args)  Times times and returns the minimun,
       maximun, median and average excution times.

   then(TimeLapse) -> {MegaSecs, Secs, MicroSecs}
       Types

       TimeLapse = int()

       MegaSecs = int()

       Secs = int()

       MicroSecs = int()

              This function adds TimeLapse microseconds to the result of the
              BIF now/0.

TIMER EXPORTS
       These functions replace those in the standard timer module.

   cancel(Ref) -> Time | false
       Types

       Ref = ref()

       Time = int()

       Cancels a timer, where Ref  was  returned by exit_after/2-3.  If the
       timer is there  to be removed, the function returns the time in
       milliseconds left until the timer would have  expired, otherwise false.

   exit_after(Time, Reason) -> Ref
   exit_after(Time, Pid, Reason) -> Ref
       Types

       0 <= Time <= 4294967295

       Pid = pid()

       Reason = term()

       Ref = ref()

       Sends and exit signal with reason Reason to Pid after Time.  Returns
       the timer reference that can later be used by cancel/1.  If Pid is
       unspecified self() is used.
