/** @defgroup grp_rt_timer RTTimer - Timer
*
* The IPRT timer API provides a simple abstraction of recurring and one-shot callback timers.
*
* Because of the great variation in the native APIs and the quality of
* the service delivered by those native APIs, the timers are operated
* on at best effort basis.
*
* All the ring-3 implementations are naturally at the mercy of the scheduler,
* which means that the callback rate might vary quite a bit and we might skip
* ticks. Many systems have a restriction that a process can only have one
* timer. IPRT currently makes no efforts at multiplexing timers in those kind
* of situations and will simply fail if you try to create more than one timer.
*
* Things are generally better in ring-0. The implementations will use interrupt
* time callbacks wherever available, and if not, resort to a high priority
* kernel thread.
