C Timer Callback

Question

Interested in something similar to JavaScript setTimeout in C on both UNIX and Windows.

Basically, I want:

start_timer(&function_pointer, int time_in_secs)

or as close to that as I can get.

Also, something similar to setInterval would be nice (where it calls the callback every n seconds), but that can be implemented using setTimeout :)

Answer 1

SetTimer in Win32 with a TimerProc as the call back.

/* calls TimerProc once every 60000 milliseconds */
SetTimer(NULL, 1, 60000, TimerProc);
