a.destroy(b);

From IoObjectService requirements. Implicitly cancels asynchronous wait operations, as if by calling a.cancel(b, e).

a.cancel(b, e);

size_t

Causes any outstanding asynchronous wait operations to complete as soon as possible. Handlers for cancelled operations shall be passed the error code error::operation_aborted. Sets e to indicate success or failure. Returns the number of operations that were cancelled.

a.expires_at(b);

Clock::time_point

a.expires_at(b, t, e);

size_t

Implicitly cancels asynchronous wait operations, as if by calling a.cancel(b, e). Returns the number of operations that were cancelled.
post: a.expires_at(b) == t.

a.expires_from_now(b);

Clock::duration

Returns a value equivalent to a.expires_at(b) - Clock::now().

a.expires_from_now(b, d, e);

size_t

Equivalent to a.expires_at(b, Clock::now() + d, e).

a.wait(b, e);

error_code

Sets e to indicate success or failure. Returns e.
post: !!e || !(Clock::now() < a.expires_at(b)).

a.async_wait(b, h);

Initiates an asynchronous wait operation that is performed via the io_service object a.get_io_service() and behaves according to asynchronous operation requirements.

The handler shall be posted for execution only if the condition !!ec || !(Clock::now() < a.expires_at(b)) holds, where ec is the error code to be passed to the handler.
