/* timer.c --- daemon to provide a tagged interval timer service

   This little daemon runs forever waiting for signals.  SIGIO (or
   SIGUSR1) causes it to read an event spec from stdin; that is, a
   date followed by colon followed by an event label.  SIGALRM causes
   it to check its queue for events attached to the current second; if
   one is found, its label is written to stdout.  SIGTERM causes it to
   terminate, printing a list of pending events.

   This program is intended to be used with the lisp package called
   timer.el.  It was written anonymously in 1990.  This version was
   documented and rewritten for portability by esr@snark,thyrsus.com,
   Aug 7 1992.  */
