Events may be scheduled at prescribed times, with the time definitions coming as ‘date’ objects.
See The Date And Time Library.
A function together with the arguments for its call is recorded for scheduled events and it is called at the prescribed time.
The time prescribing ‘date’ object may be optionally recorded and retained and can be used to identify the scheduled event with the dispatcher object.
Identifiable events may be canceled.
