46Route timer queues provide a method of queueing routing-related actions to be
47triggered once per second.

49.It Fn rt_timer_add "struct rtentry *rt" \
50"void (*func)(struct rtentry *, struct rttimer *)" \
51"struct rttimer_queue *queue" "u_int rtableid"
52Schedule
53.Fa func
54to be called on
55.Fa rt
56using the timeout of
57.Fa queue .
58If
59.Fa rt
60already has a call to
61.Fa func
62scheduled on any timer queue, it will be replaced with the new invocation.
63.It Fn rt_timer_remove_all "struct rtentry *rt"
64Remove all timeouts associated with
65.Fa rt
66from all routing timer queues.
67.It Fn rt_timer_queue_create "u_int timeout"
68Create a timer queue with a timeout of
69.Fa timeout
70seconds.
71.It Fn rt_timer_queue_count "struct rtentry *rt"
72Return the number of timers present in the queue
73.Fa rtq .
74.It Fn rt_timer_queue_change "struct rttimer_queue *rtq" "long timeout"
75Set timeout for
76.Fa rtq
77to
78.Fa timeout
79seconds.
80.It Fn rt_timer_queue_destroy "struct rttimer_queue *rtq"
81Remove all timeouts from the routing timer queue
82.Fa rtq ,
83execute their associated callback and destroy it.
