timer class in linux

Question

I need a timer to execute callbacks with relatively low resolution. What\'s the best way to implement such C++ timer class in Linux? Are there any libraries I could use?

Answer 1

Use the boost::asio library. It has both synchronous and asynchronous timers which call a callback.
