+ Adds a one-shot timeout callback.
+
+ The callback function \p cb will be called by Fl::wait() at \p time seconds
+ after this function is called.
+ The callback function must have the signature \ref Fl_Timeout_Handler.
+ The optional \p data argument is passed to the callback (default: NULL).
+
+ The timer is removed from the timer queue before the callback function is
+ called. It is safe to reschedule the timeout inside the callback function.
+
+ You can have multiple timeout callbacks, even the same timeout callback
+ with different timeout values and/or different \p data values. They are
+ all considered different timer objects.
+
+ To remove a timeout while it is active (pending) use Fl::remove_timeout().
+
+ If you need more accurate, repeated timeouts, use Fl::repeat_timeout() to
+ reschedule the subsequent timeouts. Please see Fl::repeat_timeout() for
+ an example.

+ Repeats a timeout callback from the expiration of the previous timeout,

+ You should call this method only inside a timeout callback of the same or

+ be scheduled. Otherwise the timing accuracy can't be improved and the
+ exact behavior is undefined.
+
+ If you call this outside a timeout callback the behavior is the same as
+ Fl::add_timeout().

+ #include <FL/Fl.H>
+ #include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
+ #include <stdio.h>
