I am writing a program that accept on its STDIN_FILENO a tuple (v,t) and
schedules an alarm to expire. Once the alrm expired i writes that tuple
on STDOUT_FILENO for who ever wants to be notified.

The tuple (v,t) may be seen as:

struct tmr {
	unsigned	value;
	struct timeval	momment;
};

This application purpose is to allow an client to schedule several
deadline events to be execute upon its time expiration. Got the ideia ?

Actually i have it already wrote! But i did not enjoyed this fact about
OpenBSD timer resolution. Of course, going with something like QNX is
not an option.
