[section:TimerService Timer service requirements]

A timer service must meet the requirements for an [link
boost_asio.reference.IoObjectService I/O object service], as well as the
additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, `X` denotes a timer service class for time type `Time` and
traits type `TimeTraits`, `a` denotes a value of type `X`, `b` denotes a value
of type `X::implementation_type`, `t` denotes a value of type `Time`, `d`
denotes a value of type `TimeTraits::duration_type`, `e` denotes a value of
type `error_code`, and `h` denotes a value meeting [link
boost_asio.reference.WaitHandler `WaitHandler`] requirements.

      requirements.\n
