     Applications can schedule alarms with addAlarm() and can
     unschedule alarms with deleteAlarm(). When the time for an alarm
     to go off is reached the specified \link qcop.html QCop\endlink
     message is sent on the specified channel (optionally with
     additional data).
 
     Scheduling an alarm using this class is important (rather just using
     a QTimer) since the machine may be asleep and needs to get woken up using
     the Linux kernel which implements this at the kernel level to minimize
     battery usage while asleep.
 
+    A small example on how to use AlarmServer.
+
+    First we need to connect a slot the AppMessage QCOP call. appMessage
+    will be emitted if QPE/Application/appname gets called.
+
+    \code
+     TestApp::TestApp(QWidget *parent, const char* name, WFlags fl )
+         : QMainWindow(parent,name,fl){
+         connect(qApp,SIGNAL(appMessage(const QCString&,const QByteArray&)),
+                 this,SLOT(slotAppMessage(const QCString&,const QByteArray&)));
+     }
+    \endcode
+
+    To add / delete an alarm, you can use the static method AlarmServer::addAlarm and
+    AlarmServer::deleteAlarm. Note that an old (expired) alarm will automatically be deleted
+    from the alarmserver list, but a change in timing will have the effect, that both
+    alarms will be emitted. So if you change an Alarm be sure to delete the old one!
+    @see addAlarm
+
+    \code
+       QDateTime oldDt = oldAlarmDateTime();
+       QPEApplication::execDialog(ourDlg);
+       QDateTime newDt = ourDlg->dateTime();
+       if(newDt == oldDt ) return;
+       @slash* code is missing for unsetting an alarm *@slash
+
+       AlarmServer::deleteAlarm(oldDt,"QPE/Application/appname","checkAlarm(QDateTime,int)",0);
+       AlarmServer::addAlarm(   newDt,"QPE/AlarmServer/appname","checkAlarm(QDateTime,int)",0);
+
+    \endcode
+
+    Now once the Alarm is emitted you need to check the appMessage and then do what you want.
+    \code
+       void TestApp::slotAppMessage(const QCString& str, const QByteArray& ar ){
+           QDataStream stream(ar,IO_ReadOnly);
+           if(str == "checkAlarm(QDateTime,int)" ){
+              QDateTime dt;
+              int a;
+              stream >> dt >> a;
+              // fire up alarm
+           }
+       }
+    \endcode

 /*!

   be sent to \a channel, with \a data as a parameter.

   call the subsequent call is ignored, so there is only ever one alarm
