This makes it easier to build Cytoplasm as a component of another program (for example, Telodendria), or as a standalone system library.

/***

|
* @Nm Cron
|
|
* @Nd Basic periodic job scheduler.
|
|
* @Dd December 24 2022
|
|
*
|
|
* This is an extremely basic job scheduler. So basic, in fact, that
|
|
* it currently runs all jobs on a single thread, which means that it
|
|
* is intended for short-lived jobs. In the future, it might be
|
|
* extended to support a one-thread-per-job model, but for now, jobs
|
|
* should take into consideration the fact that they are sharing their
|
|
* thread, so they should not be long-running.
|
|
* .Pp
|
|
* .Nm
|
|
* works by ``ticking'' at an interval defined by the caller of
|
|
* .Fn CronCreate .
|
|
* At each tick, all the registered jobs are queried, and if they are
|
|
* due to run again, their function is executed. As much as possible,
|
|
* .Nm
|
|
* tries to tick at constant intervals, however it is possible that one
|
|
* or more jobs may overrun the tick duration. If this happens,
|
|
* .Nm
|
|
* ticks again immediately after all the jobs for the previous tick
|
|
* have completed. This is in an effort to compensate for lost time,
|
|
* however it is important to note that when jobs overrun the tick
|
|
* interval, the interval is pushed back by the amount that it was
|
|
* overrun. Because of this,
|
|
* .Nm
|
|
* is best suited for scheduling jobs that should happen
|
|
* ``aproximately'' every so often; it is not a real-time scheduler
|
|
* by any means.
