Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified procedure
when \*(Cd.
.IP \fIinterval\fP 1i
Specifies the time interval in milliseconds.
.ds Pr \ to be called when time expires
.IP \fIproc\fP 1i
Specifies the procedure that is\*(Pr.
.IP \fItimer\fP 1i
Specifies the ID for the timeout request to be destroyed.
