HomeSYNOPSIS
ms = tmr:remaining()
DESCRIPTION
Returns the time that is still remaining until the timer triggers next.
RETURN VALUE
The remaining time in milliseconds.
EXAMPLE
Note that this example uses os.msleep() to show that the timer still runs even with no event loop. Only a callback would not work without the event loop. In normal code, it is recommended to use event:pause() instead of os.msleep().
