Timeouts


type t
val set_exn_handler : (exn -> unit) -> unit

create n f defines a new timeout with n seconds duration. f is the function to be called after the timeout. That function must not raise any exception.

val start : t -> unit

starts a timeout.

val stop : t -> unit

stops a timeout.

val change : t -> int -> unit
