/**
* @file esp_timer.h
* @brief microsecond-precision 64-bit timer API, replacement for ets_timer
*
* esp_timer APIs allow components to receive callbacks when a hardware timer
* reaches certain value. The timer provides microsecond accuracy and
* up to 64 bit range. Note that while the timer itself provides microsecond
* accuracy, callbacks are dispatched from an auxiliary task. Some time is
* needed to notify this task from timer ISR, and then to invoke the callback.
* If more than one callback needs to be dispatched at any particular time,
* each subsequent callback will be dispatched only when the previous callback
* returns. Therefore, callbacks should not do much work; instead, they should
* use RTOS notification mechanisms (queues, semaphores, event groups, etc.) to
* pass information to other tasks.
*
* To be implemented: it should be possible to request the callback to be called
* directly from the ISR. This reduces the latency, but has potential impact on
* all other callbacks which need to be dispatched. This option should only be
* used for simple callback functions, which do not take longer than a few
* microseconds to run.
*
* Timer callbacks are called from a task running on CPU0.
* On chips with multiple cores, CPU0 (default) can be changed using
* the Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_TIMER_TASK_AFFINITY.

* @brief Stop a running timer and wait for any in-flight callback to complete
*
* This function disarms the timer (prevents future callbacks). If the timer callback is
* currently executing, it waits for the callback to finish, taking into account the specified waiting time.
*
* If this function returns ESP_OK, the caller is guaranteed that the timer is disarmed and
* no callback is executing after the function returns (see the calling-context rules below).
*
* @note Behavior depends on calling context:
* - **User task context (normal case)**: Disarms the timer and waits up to timeout_ticks
* for any in-flight callback to complete. Returns ESP_OK when no callback is running,
* or ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT if the callback didn't finish in time.
*
* - **ISR context**: Never blocks. Disarms the timer and returns immediately.
* If the timer callback may still be running, returns ESP_ERR_NOT_FINISHED.
*
* - **Callback context**: Disarms the timer and returns immediately. Blocking from a callback
* would delay the esp_timer task and distort timing of other TASK-dispatch timers.
* Return value depends on the stopped timer state and the currently running callback:
* - Returns ESP_OK when the stop request is issued from the stopped timers own callback
* (the callback will complete naturally after it returns).
* - Returns ESP_ERR_NOT_FINISHED when stopping an ISR-dispatch timer from a foreign callback
* (i.e., the currently running callback belongs to another timer). In this case the caller
* cannot safely wait for ISR context to complete, so it is informed that the callback may
* still be running.
*
* If ESP_ERR_NOT_FINISHED is returned, it means that the timer is disarmed, but its callback
* may is still running or will run soon. In this case, you can wait for the callback to complete
* using esp_timer_is_active().
*
* @param timer Timer handle created using esp_timer_create()
* @param timeout_ticks Maximum time to wait for callback completion, in FreeRTOS ticks.
* Use portMAX_DELAY to wait indefinitely.
* @return
* - ESP_OK on success (timer is disarmed, no callback is running or will run)
* - ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT if the callback didn't complete within timeout_ticks
* - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if the timer handle is invalid
* - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE if esp_timer is not initialized
