xTimerGetPeriod
[Timer API]

timers.h
 TickType_t xTimerGetPeriod( TimerHandle_t xTimer );

Returns the period of a software timer. The period is specified in ticks.

The period of a timer is initially set using the xTimerPeriod parameter of the call to xTimerCreate() used to create the timer. It can then be changed using the xTimerChangePeriod() and xTimerChangePeriodFromISR() API functions.

Parameters:
xTimer   The timer being queried.
Returns:
The period of the timer, in ticks.
Example usage:

/* A callback function assigned to a software timer. */
static void prvExampleTimerCallback( TimerHandle_t xTimer )
{
TickType_t xTimerPeriod;

    /* Query the period of the timer that expires. */
    xTimerPeriod = xTimerGetPeriod( xTimer );
}
