The <a class="link" href="basic_deadline_timer.html" title="basic_deadline_timer"><code class="computeroutput">basic_deadline_timer</code></a>
class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous
wait for a timer to expire.
</p>
<p>
A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not
expired". If the <code class="computeroutput">wait()</code> or <code class="computeroutput">async_wait()</code> function
is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.
</p>
<p>
Most applications will use the <a class="link" href="deadline_timer.html" title="deadline_timer"><code class="computeroutput">deadline_timer</code></a>
typedef.

Performing a blocking wait:

<pre class="programlisting">// Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context);
// Set an expiry time relative to now.
timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

{
if (!error)
{
// Timer expired.
}
}
...
// Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.

<p>
Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous
waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action
associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this:
used:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">void on_some_event()
{
if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) &gt; 0)
{
// We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
}
else
{
// Too late, timer has already expired!
}
}
void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code&amp; e)
{
if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
{
// Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
}
}
