32.Os
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.Lb libpthread

40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.In pthread.h
42.Ft int
43.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait "pthread_cond_t *cond" "pthread_mutex_t *mutex" "const struct timespec *abstime"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
47function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
48variable specified by
49.Fa cond ,
50and unblocks the mutex specified by
51.Fa mutex .
52The waiting thread unblocks only after another thread calls
53.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
54or
55.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
56with the same condition variable, or if the system time reaches the
57time specified in
58.Fa abstime ,
59and the current thread reacquires the lock on
60.Fa mutex .
61.Sh RETURN VALUES
62If successful, the
63.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
64function will return zero.
65Otherwise an error number will be returned to
66indicate the error.
67.Sh ERRORS
68The
69.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
70function will fail if:
71.Bl -tag -width Er
72.It Bq Er EINVAL
73The value specified by
74.Fa cond ,
75.Fa mutex
76or
77.Fa abstime
78is invalid.
79.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
80The system time has reached or exceeded the time specified in
81.Fa abstime .
