Only as long as the system driver's rest function pointer isn't NULL, which it
happens to be for both the SIGALRM and pthreads timer modules for UNIX. The
following code is used if that is the case:
rest_count = time;
if (install_int(rest_int, 1) < 0)
return;
do {
if (callback)
callback();
else
yield_timeslice();
} while (rest_count > 0);
remove_int(rest_int);
Kind regards,
