Start an asynchronous wait on the timer.
template< typename WaitHandler> void async_wait( WaitHandler handler);
This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the timer. It always returns immediately.
For each call to async_wait(), the supplied handler will be called exactly once. The handler will be called when:
The handler to be called when the timer expires. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:
void handler( const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation. );
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using boost::asio::io_service::post().
