                 <strong>kern_return_t</strong>                       <var>reply_code</var>,
                 <strong>alarm_type_t</strong>                        <var>alarm_type</var>,
                 <strong>tvalspec_t</strong>                           <var>wake_time</var><strong>);</strong>

<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
<dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>alarm_reply_port</var> 
<dd>
[in alarm (receive) right]
The reply port named in the corresponding 
<strong>clock_alarm</strong> call.
<p>
<dt> <var>reply_code</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The reply status code from the alarm.  The possible values

<dl>
<p>
<dt> <strong>KERN_SUCCESS</strong>
<dd>
The alarm was delivered without problem.
<p>
<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_VALUE</strong>
<dd>

<strong>clock_alarm</strong> were invalid.
<p>
<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_LEDGER</strong>
<dd>
The <var>ledger</var> supplied to <strong>clock_alarm</strong> was not a ledger.
<p>
<dt> <strong>KERN_ABORTED</strong>
<dd>
The alarm was terminated via use of <strong>clock_set_time</strong>.
</dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>alarm_type</var> 
<dd>
[in scalar]
The alarm type value supplied to the <strong>clock_alarm</strong> call. 
Only the low order bits of this value are used by the kernel so the high 
order bits are available for application use as an alarm identifier.
<p>
<dt> <var>wake_time</var> 
<dd>
[in structure]
