pthread_cond_timedwait(3)			     pthread_cond_timedwait(3)

NAME
       pthread_cond_timedwait - Causes a thread to wait for the specified con‐
       dition variable to be signaled or broadcasted, such that it will	 awake
       after a specified period of time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_cond_timedwait(
	       pthread_cond_t *cond,
	       pthread_mutex_t *mutex,
	       const struct timespec *abstime );

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
       Condition variable that the calling thread waits on.  Mutex  associated
       with  the condition variable specified in cond.	Absolute time at which
       the wait expires, if the condition has  not  been  signaled  or	broad‐
       casted.	See the pthread_get_expiration_np(3) routine, which is used to
       obtain a value for this argument. The abstime argument is specified  in
       Universal  Coordinated Time (UTC). In the UTC-based model, time is rep‐
       resented as seconds since the Epoch. The Epoch is defined as the time 0
       hours,  0  minutes, 0 seconds, January 1st, 1970 UTC. Seconds since the
       Epoch is a value interpreted as the number of seconds between a	speci‐
       fied time and the Epoch.

DESCRIPTION
       This routine causes a thread to wait until one of the following occurs:
       The specified condition variable is signaled or broadcasted.  The  cur‐
       rent  system  clock time is greater than or equal to the time specified
       by the abstime argument.

       This routine is identical to  pthread_cond_wait(3),  except  that  this
       routine	can  return  before a condition variable is signaled or broad‐
       casted; specifically, when the specified time expires. For more	infor‐
       mation, see the pthread_cond_wait(3) description.

       This  routine  atomically  releases  the	 mutex	and causes the calling
       thread to wait on the condition. When the thread regains control	 after
       calling	pthread_cond_timedwait(3),  the mutex is locked and the thread
       is the owner. This is true regardless of why the wait ended. If general
       cancelability is enabled, the thread reacquires the mutex (blocking for
       it if necessary) before the cleanup handlers are	 run  (or  before  the
       exception is raised).

       If the current time equals or exceeds the expiration time, this routine
       returns immediately, releasing and  reacquiring	the  mutex.  It	 might
       cause the calling thread to yield (see the sched_yield(3) description).
       Your code should check the return status whenever this routine  returns
       and  take  the  appropriate action. Otherwise, waiting on the condition
       variable can become a nonblocking loop.

       Call this routine after you have locked the mutex specified  in	mutex.
       The results of this routine are unpredictable if this routine is called
       without first locking the mutex. The only routines which are  supported
       for use with asynchronous cancelability enabled are those which disable
       asynchronous cancelability.

RETURN VALUES
       If an error condition occurs, this routine  returns  an	integer	 value
       indicating  the	type  of error. Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by cond, mutex, or  abstime
       is   invalid,   or:  Different  mutexes	are  supplied  for  concurrent
       pthread_cond_timedwait(3) operations or pthread_cond_wait(3) operations
       on  the	same  condition	 variable,  or: The mutex was not owned by the
       calling thread at the time of the call.	The time specified by  abstime
       expired.	  DECthreads  cannot  acquire  memory  needed to block using a
       statically initialized condition variable.

ERRORS
       None
