dispatch_after_f3
Schedule blocks for deferred execution
Part of dispatch_after(3).
Usage
#include <dispatch/dispatch.h>
void
dispatch_after(dispatch_time_t when, dispatch_queue_t queue, void (^block)(void));
void
dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time_t when, dispatch_queue_t queue, void *context, void (*function)(void *));
Overview
The dispatch_after() function submits the block to the given queue at the time specified by the when parameter. The when parameter is a value created by dispatch_time() or dispatch_walltime().
For a more detailed description about submitting blocks to queues, see dispatch_async(3).
Caveats
Specifying DISPATCH_TIME_NOW as the when parameter is supported, but is not as efficient as calling dispatch_async(). The result of passing DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER as the when parameter is undefined.
Fundamentals
The dispatch_after() function is a wrapper around dispatch_after_f().
Releases
Unchanged in 3 releases since Debian 6.0 (Squeeze).
