Implement Method

◆ ring()

void Bell::ring ( )

Ring the bell.

Method called by the Bellringer once the waiting time passed. Wakes up the sleeping thread(s).

◆ set()

void Bell::set ( unsigned int  ms)

Set the bell's waiting time.

This method can be used to set the desired waiting time.

Parameters
msTime in milliseconds; will be passed to Bellringer::job()
Optional:
Implement Method

◆ sleep() [1/2]

void Bell::sleep ( )

Sleep until the bell rings.

The bell needs to be configured via Bell::set() prior to calling this method and should not have rung already. (see Bell::residual()).

Optional:
Implement Method

◆ sleep() [2/2]
