Interface for controlling callbacks when an interval has passed. This interface is intended for software that requires repeated and/or one-shot timers and is willing to experience some jitter or imprecision in return for a simpler API that doesn't require actual calculation of counter values. Software that requires more precisely timed callbacks should use the Alarm trait instead.

Required methods

`fn set_timer_client(&'a self, client: &'a dyn TimerClient)`

Specify the callback to invoke when the timer interval expires. If there was a previously installed callback this call replaces it.

`fn oneshot(&'a self, interval: Self::Ticks) -> Self::Ticks`

Start a one-shot timer that will invoke the callback at least interval ticks in the future. If there is a timer currently pending, calling this cancels that previous timer. After a callback is invoked for a one shot timer, the timer MUST NOT invoke the callback again unless a new timer is started (either with repeating or one shot). Returns the actual interval for the timer that was registered. This MUST NOT be smaller than interval but MAY be larger.

`fn repeating(&'a self, interval: Self::Ticks) -> Self::Ticks`

Start a repeating timer that will invoke the callback every interval ticks in the future. If there is a timer currently pending, calling this cancels that previous timer. Returns the actual interval for the timer that was registered. This MUST NOT be smaller than interval but MAY be larger.

`fn interval(&self) -> Option<Self::Ticks>`

Return the interval of the last requested timer.

`fn is_oneshot(&self) -> bool`

Return if the last requested timer is a one-shot timer.

`fn is_repeating(&self) -> bool`

Return if the last requested timer is a repeating timer.

`fn time_remaining(&self) -> Option<Self::Ticks>`

Return how many ticks are remaining until the next callback, or None if the timer is disabled. This call is useful because there may be non-neglible delays between when a timer was requested and it was actually scheduled. Therefore, since a timer's start might be delayed slightly, the time remaining might be slightly higher than one would expect if one calculated it right before the call to start the timer.

`fn is_enabled(&self) -> bool`

Returns whether there is currently a timer enabled and so a callback will be expected in the future. If is_enabled returns false then the implementation MUST NOT invoke a callback until a call to oneshot or repeating restarts the timer.

`fn cancel(&self) -> ReturnCode`

Cancel the current timer, if any. Value ReturnCode values are:

ReturnCode::SUCCESS: no callback will be invoked in the future.
ReturnCode::FAIL: the timer could not be cancelled and a callback will be invoked in the future.
