\fBint\fR \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait\fR(\fBlwp_cond_t *\fR\fIcvp\fR, \fBlwp_mutex_t *\fR\fImp\fR,
     \fBtimestruc_t *\fR\fIreltime\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions are used to wait for the occurrence of a condition represented
by an LWP condition variable. LWP condition variables must be initialized to 0
before use.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR function atomically releases the LWP mutex pointed
to by \fImp\fR and causes the calling LWP to block on the LWP condition
variable pointed to by \fIcvp\fR. The blocked LWP may be awakened by
\fB_lwp_cond_signal\fR(2), \fB_lwp_cond_broadcast\fR(2), or when interrupted by
delivery of a signal. Any change in value of a condition associated with the
condition variable cannot be inferred by the return of \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR
and any such condition must be re-evaluated.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR function is similar to \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR,
except that the calling LWP will not block past the time of day specified by
\fIabstime\fR. If the time of day becomes greater than \fIabstime\fR,
\fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR returns with the error code \fBETIME\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR function is similar to
\fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR, except that the calling LWP will not block past the
relative time specified by \fIreltime\fR. If the time of day becomes greater
than the starting time of day plus \fIreltime\fR,
\fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR returns with the error code \fBETIME\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR, \fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR, and
\fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR functions always return with the mutex locked
and owned by the calling lightweight process.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. A non-zero value indicates an
error.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
If any of the following conditions are detected, \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR,
\fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR, and \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR fail and return
the corresponding value:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The \fIcvp\fR argument points to an invalid LWP condition variable or the
\fImp\fR argument points to an invalid LWP mutex.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEFAULT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The \fImp\fR, \fIcvp\fR, or \fIabstime\fR argument points to an illegal
address.
.RE

.sp
.LP
If any of the following conditions occur, \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR,
\fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR, and \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR fail and return
the corresponding value:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEINTR\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
.rt  
The call was interrupted by a signal or \fBfork\fR(2).
.RE

.sp
.LP
If any of the following conditions occur, \fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR and
\fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR fail and return the corresponding value:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBETIME\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
.rt  
The time specified in\fIabstime\fR or \fIreltime\fR has passed.

.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRUse the \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR function in a loop testing some
condition.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR function is normally used in a loop testing some
condition, as follows:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
lwp_mutex_t m;
lwp_cond_t cv;
int cond;
(void) _lwp_mutex_lock(&m);
while (cond == FALSE) {
        (void) _lwp_cond_wait(&cv, &m);
}
(void) _lwp_mutex_unlock(&m);
.fi
.in -2

.LP
\fBExample 2 \fRUse the \fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR function in a loop testing
some condition.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR function is also normally used in a loop
testing some condition. It uses an absolute timeout value as follows:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
timestruc_t to;
lwp_mutex_t m;
lwp_cond_t cv;
int cond, err;
(void) _lwp_mutex_lock(&m);
to.tv_sec = time(NULL) + TIMEOUT;
to.tv_nsec = 0;
while (cond == FALSE) {
        err = _lwp_cond_timedwait(&cv, &m, &to);
        if (err == ETIME) {
                /* timeout, do something */
                break;
        SENDwhom}
}
(void) _lwp_mutex_unlock(&m);
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
This example sets a bound on the total wait time even though the
\fB_lwp_cond_timedwait()\fR may return several times due to the condition being
signalled or the wait being interrupted.

.LP
\fBExample 3 \fRUse the \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR function in a loop
testing some condition.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_cond_reltimedwait()\fR function is also normally used in a loop
testing some condition. It uses a relative timeout value as follows:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
timestruc_t to;
lwp_mutex_t m;
lwp_cond_t cv;
int cond, err;
(void) _lwp_mutex_lock(&m);
while (cond == FALSE) {
        to.tv_sec = TIMEOUT;
        to.tv_nsec = 0;
        err = _lwp_cond_reltimedwait(&cv, &m, &to);
        if (err == ETIME) {
                /* timeout, do something */
                break;
        }
}
(void) _lwp_mutex_unlock(&m);
.fi
.in -2
