33.Sh NAME
34.Nm pthread_cond_timedwait
35.Nd wait on a condition variable for a specific amount of time
36.Sh LIBRARY
37.Lb libc_r
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Fd #include <pthread.h>
40.Ft int
41.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait "pthread_cond_t *cond" "pthread_mutex_t *mutex" "const struct timespec *abstime"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
45function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
46variable specified by
47.Fa cond ,
48and unblocks the mutex specified by
49.Fa mutex .
50The waiting thread unblocks only after another thread calls
51.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
52or
53.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
54with the same condition variable, or if the system time reaches the
55time specified in
56.Fa abstime ,
57and the current thread requires the lock on
58.Fa mutex .
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60If successful, the
61.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
62function will return zero.
63Otherwise an error number will be returned to
64indicate the error.
65.Sh ERRORS
66.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
67will fail if:
68.Bl -tag -width Er
69.It Bq Er EINVAL
70The value specified by
71.Fa cond ,
72.Fa mutex
73or
74.Fa abstime
75is invalid.
76.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
77The system time has reached or exceeded the time specified in
78.Fa abstime .
