+ where 'clockid' is the clock type and 'ticks' is the number of the timer expirations
+ that have occurred [see timerfd_create(2) for details]. 'settime flags' are
+ flags in octal form been used to setup the timer [see timerfd_settime(2) for
+ details]. 'it_value' is remaining time until the timer exiration.
+ 'it_interval' is the interval for the timer. Note the timer might be set up
+ with TIMER_ABSTIME option which will be shown in 'settime flags', but 'it_value'
+ still exhibits timer's remaining time.
