/**
* @file esp_timer.h
* @brief microsecond-precision 64-bit timer API, replacement for ets_timer
*
* esp_timer APIs allow components to receive callbacks when a hardware timer
* reaches certain value. The timer provides microsecond accuracy and
* up to 64 bit range. Note that while the timer itself provides microsecond
* accuracy, callbacks are dispatched from an auxiliary task. Some time is
* needed to notify this task from timer ISR, and then to invoke the callback.
* If more than one callback needs to be dispatched at any particular time,
* each subsequent callback will be dispatched only when the previous callback
* returns. Therefore, callbacks should not do much work; instead, they should
* use RTOS notification mechanisms (queues, semaphores, event groups, etc.) to
* pass information to other tasks.
*
* To be implemented: it should be possible to request the callback to be called
* directly from the ISR. This reduces the latency, but has potential impact on
* all other callbacks which need to be dispatched. This option should only be
* used for simple callback functions, which do not take longer than a few
* microseconds to run.
*
* Timer callbacks are called from a task running on the PRO CPU.
