/*! \page timer Timer interface

<P> Timer interface is designed to use internal timers in sound hardware, but
it can be driven with any timer.

\section timer_general_overview General overview

The timer implementation uses ring buffer to store information about timing
events. In this buffer is recorded count of ticks and current tick resolution
in nanoseconds.

\section timer_open Opening

Timer devices can be opened in two ways. When #SND_TIMER_OPEN_NONBLOCK flag
is used, then the open functions return immediately with -EBUSY error code when
resources are occupied with another application. When #SND_TIMER_OPEN_NONBLOCK
is not used (by default) the open functions block the application requesting
device until resources are not free.

\section timer_events Events

Events are read via snd_timer_read() function.

\section timer_examples Examples

The full featured examples with cross-links:

\par Simple timer test program
\ref example_test_timer "example code"
\par
This example shows opening a timer device and reading of timer events.
