.LP
As with \fBtimeout\fR(9F), the exact time interval over which the function
takes effect cannot be guaranteed, but the value given is a close
! approximation. If the callback function has not finished execution when the
! next interval expires, the system will skip running the callback for that
! interval.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
! \fBddi_periodic_add()\fR returns the non-zero opaque value
! (\fBddi_periodic_t\fR), which is later used to cancel the periodic request
! with \fBddi_periodic_delete\fR(9F).
