/**
* \defgroup timer Seconds timer library
*
* The stimer library provides functions for setting, resetting and
* restarting timers, and for checking if a timer has expired. An
* application must "manually" check if its timers have expired; this
* is not done automatically.
*
* A timer is declared as a \c struct \c stimer and all access to the
* timer is made by a pointer to the declared timer.
*
* \note The stimer library is not able to post events when a timer
* expires. The \ref etimer "Event timers" should be used for this
* purpose.
*
* \note The stimer library uses the \ref clock "Clock library" to
* measure time. Intervals should be specified in the seconds.
*
* \sa \ref etimer "Event timers"
