    * restrict evp, timer_t *
    restrict timerid);
timer_create() function creates a per-process timer
  using the clock specified in the clockid argument. If it
  succeeds, the timer_create() function fills in the
  timerid argument with an id associated with the timer
  created that can be used by other timer related calls. The
  clockid must be a valid clock id as defined in
  <time.h>. The timer is created
  in a disarmed state.
An optional (non-NULL)
    struct sigevent argument can be specified by the
    evp argument. If the evp
    argument is NULL, then
    evp->sigev_notify defaults to
    SIGEV_SIGNAL and
    evp->sigev_value is set to
    timerid. Refer to
    sigevent(3) for more
    details.
timer_create() function returns 0,
  and fills in the timerid argument with the id of the new
  timer that was created. Otherwise, it returns -1, and sets
  errno to indicate the error.
timer_create() function will fail if:
