/********************************************************************************
 * Function:  timer_create
 *
 * Description:
 *   The  timer_create() function creates per-thread timer using the specified
 *   clock, clock_id, as the timing base. The timer_create() function returns, in
 *   the location referenced by timerid, a timer ID of type timer_t used to identify
 *   the timer in timer requests. This timer ID is unique until the timer is
 *   deleted. The particular clock, clock_id, is defined in <time.h>. The timer
 *   whose ID is returned will be in a disarmed state upon return from
 *   timer_create().
 *
 *   The evp argument, if non-NULL, points to a sigevent structure. This structure
 *   is allocated by the called and defines the asynchronous notification to occur.
 *   If the evp argument is NULL, the effect is as if the evp argument pointed to
 *   a sigevent structure with the sigev_notify member having the value SIGEV_SIGNAL,
 *   the sigev_signo having a default signal number, and the sigev_value member
 *   having the value of the timer ID.
 *
 *   Each implementation defines a set of clocks that can be used as timing bases
 *   for per-thread timers. All implementations shall support a clock_id of
 *   CLOCK_REALTIME.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   clockid - Specifies the clock to use as the timing base.
 *   evp - Refers to a user allocated sigevent structure that defines the
 *     asynchronous notification.  evp may be NULL (see above).
 *   timerid - The pre-thread timer created by the call to timer_create().
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   If the call succeeds, timer_create() will return 0 (OK) and update the
 *   location referenced by timerid to a timer_t, which can be passed to the
 *   other per-thread timer calls.  If an error occurs, the function will return
 *   a value of -1 (ERROR) and set errno to indicate the error.
 *
 *   EAGAIN - The system lacks sufficient signal queuing resources to honor the
 *    request.
 *   EAGAIN - The calling process has already created all of the timers it is
 *     allowed by this implementation.
 *   EINVAL - The specified clock ID is not defined.
 *   ENOTSUP - The implementation does not support the creation of a timer attached
 *     to the CPU-time clock that is specified by clock_id and associated with a
 *     thread different thread invoking timer_create().
 *
 * Assumptions:
