Functions
Functions that are not part of a class:

wp_schedule_single_event( $timestamp, $hook, $args = array()   X-Ref
Schedules an event to run only once.

Schedules a hook which will be triggered by WordPress at the specified time.
The action will trigger when someone visits your WordPress site if the scheduled
time has passed.

Note that scheduling an event to occur within 10 minutes of an existing event
with the same action hook will be ignored unless you pass unique `$args` values
for each scheduled event.

Use wp_next_scheduled() to prevent duplicate events.

Use wp_schedule_event() to schedule a recurring event.

return: bool|WP_Error True if event successfully scheduled. False or WP_Error on failure.
since: 2.1.0
since: 5.1.0 Return value modified to boolean indicating success or failure,
since: 5.7.0 The `$wp_error` parameter was added.
param: int    $timestamp  Unix timestamp (UTC) for when to next run the event.
param: string $hook       Action hook to execute when the event is run.
param: array  $args       Optional. Array containing arguments to pass to the
param: bool   $wp_error   Optional. Whether to return a WP_Error on failure. Default false.

wp_schedule_event( $timestamp, $recurrence, $hook, $args = array()   X-Ref
Schedules a recurring event.

Schedules a hook which will be triggered by WordPress at the specified interval.
The action will trigger when someone visits your WordPress site if the scheduled
time has passed.

Valid values for the recurrence are 'hourly', 'daily', and 'twicedaily'. These can
be extended using the {@see 'cron_schedules'} filter in wp_get_schedules().

Note that scheduling an event to occur within 10 minutes of an existing event
with the same action hook will be ignored unless you pass unique `$args` values
for each scheduled event.

Use wp_next_scheduled() to prevent duplicate events.

Use wp_schedule_single_event() to schedule a non-recurring event.

return: bool|WP_Error True if event successfully scheduled. False or WP_Error on failure.
since: 2.1.0
since: 5.1.0 Return value modified to boolean indicating success or failure,

param: int    $timestamp  Unix timestamp (UTC) for when to next run the event.
param: string $recurrence How often the event should subsequently recur.
param: string $hook       Action hook to execute when the event is run.
param: array  $args       Optional. Array containing arguments to pass to the
param: bool   $wp_error   Optional. Whether to return a WP_Error on failure. Default false.

wp_reschedule_event( $timestamp, $recurrence, $hook, $args = array()   X-Ref
Reschedules a recurring event.

Mainly for internal use, this takes the time stamp of a previously run
recurring event and reschedules it for its next run.

To change upcoming scheduled events, use wp_schedule_event() to
change the recurrence frequency.

return: bool|WP_Error True if event successfully rescheduled. False or WP_Error on failure.
since: 2.1.0

param: bool   $wp_error   Optional. Whether to return a WP_Error on failure. Default false.

The $timestamp and $hook parameters are required so that the event can be
identified.

return: bool|WP_Error True if event successfully unscheduled. False or WP_Error on failure.
since: 2.1.0
since: 5.1.0 Return value modified to boolean indicating success or failure,
since: 5.7.0 The `$wp_error` parameter was added.

Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean
value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the
{@link https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php PHP documentation}. Use
the `===` operator for testing the return value of this function.

return: int|false|WP_Error On success an integer indicating number of events unscheduled (0 indicates no
since: 2.1.0

Unschedules all events attached to the hook.

Can be useful for plugins when deactivating to clean up the cron queue.

Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean
value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the
{@link https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php PHP documentation}. Use

since: 5.1.0 Return values added.
param: int $gmt_time Optional. Unix timestamp (UTC). Default 0 (current time is used).

wp_cron()   X-Ref
Register _wp_cron() to run on the {@see 'wp_loaded'} action.

If the {@see 'wp_loaded'} action has already fired, this function calls
_wp_cron() directly.

Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean
value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the
{@link https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php PHP documentation}. Use
the `===` operator for testing the return value of this function.

_wp_cron()   X-Ref
Run scheduled callbacks or spawn cron for all scheduled events.

Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean
value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the
{@link https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php PHP documentation}. Use
the `===` operator for testing the return value of this function.

return: int|false On success an integer indicating number of events spawned (0 indicates no
since: 5.7.0

wp_get_schedules()   X-Ref
Retrieve supported event recurrence schedules.

The default supported recurrences are 'hourly', 'twicedaily', 'daily', and 'weekly'.
A plugin may add more by hooking into the {@see 'cron_schedules'} filter.
The filter accepts an array of arrays. The outer array has a key that is the name
of the schedule, for example 'monthly'. The value is an array with two keys,
one is 'interval' and the other is 'display'.

The 'interval' is a number in seconds of when the cron job should run.
So for 'hourly' the time is `HOUR_IN_SECONDS` (60 * 60 or 3600). For 'monthly',
the value would be `MONTH_IN_SECONDS` (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 or 2592000).

The 'display' is the description. For the 'monthly' key, the 'display'
would be `__( 'Once Monthly' )`.

For your plugin, you will be passed an array. You can easily add your
schedule by doing the following.

// Filter parameter variable name is 'array'.
$array['monthly'] = array(
'interval' => MONTH_IN_SECONDS,
'display'  => __( 'Once Monthly' )
);

return: array[]
since: 2.1.0
since: 5.4.0 The 'weekly' schedule was added.

since: 2.1.0
since: 5.1.0 {@see 'get_schedule'} filter added.
param: string $hook Action hook to identify the event.
param: array  $args Optional. Arguments passed to the event's callback function.

wp_get_ready_cron_jobs()   X-Ref
Retrieve cron jobs ready to be run.

Returns the results of _get_cron_array() limited to events ready to be run,
ie, with a timestamp in the past.

return: array[] Array of cron job arrays ready to be run.
since: 5.1.0

_get_cron_array()   X-Ref

return: array[]|false Array of cron info arrays on success, false on failure.
since: 2.1.0

_set_cron_array( $cron, $wp_error = false )   X-Ref

since: 2.1.0
since: 5.1.0 Return value modified to outcome of update_option().
since: 5.7.0 The `$wp_error` parameter was added.
param: array[] $cron     Array of cron info arrays from _get_cron_array().
param: bool    $wp_error Optional. Whether to return a WP_Error on failure. Default false.
