Timeout.addSeconds

Sets a function to be called at regular intervals with the default priority, #G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT. The function is called repeatedly until it returns %FALSE, at which point the timeout is automatically destroyed and the function will not be called again.

This internally creates a main loop source using g_timeout_source_new_seconds() and attaches it to the main loop context using g_source_attach(). You can do these steps manually if you need greater control. Also see g_timeout_add_seconds_full().

Note that the first call of the timer may not be precise for timeouts of one second. If you need finer precision and have such a timeout, you may want to use g_timeout_add() instead.

See [memory management of sources][mainloop-memory-management] for details on how to handle the return value and memory management of @data.

The interval given is in terms of monotonic time, not wall clock time. See g_get_monotonic_time().
