function tid = timerinit(par1,par2)
%TIMERINIT Initialize a new timer.
%   TID = TIMERINIT() initializes a new timer for counting elapsed time,
%   and returns its id.
%
%   TID = TIMERINIT('TIMERNAME') sets the timer name to the specified
%   string for display purposes.
%
%   TID = TIMERINIT(ITERNUM) initializes a new ETA timer for a process with
%   ITERNUM iterations. An ETA timer can be used for both counting elapsed
%   time and estimating remaining time.
%
%   TID = TIMERINIT('TIMERNAME',ITERNUM) sets the ETA timer name to the
%   specified string for display purposes.
%
%   Example:
%
%     tid = timerinit(100); 
%     for i = 1:100
%       pause(0.07);
%       timereta(tid,i,1);
%     end
%     timereta(tid,i);
