[Kimchi-devel] [DOUBT] How to use setTimeout correctly

[Crístian Viana]

The function "kimchi.getPCIDeviceCompanions" (and most other Kimchi
JavaScript functions, actually) receives a callback function which receives
a result parameter. That function should be executed when the result is
ready. In your case, your parameter function doesn't match this requirement
(i.e. you're passing a function which receives a function which receives a
parameter). You need to pass parameters exactly as they're expected by the
main function.

Also, why are you using setTimeout at all?
