30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pthread_cond_wait
33.Nd wait on a condition variable
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libpthread
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In pthread.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn pthread_cond_wait "pthread_cond_t *restrict cond" "pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn pthread_cond_wait
43function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
44variable specified by
45.Fa cond ,
46and releases the mutex specified by
47.Fa mutex .
48The waiting thread unblocks only after another thread calls
49.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
50or
51.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
52with the same condition variable, and the current thread reacquires the lock
53on
54.Fa mutex .
55.Sh RETURN VALUES
56If successful, the
57.Fn pthread_cond_wait
58function will return zero.
59Otherwise an error number will be returned to
60indicate the error.
61.Sh ERRORS
62The
63.Fn pthread_cond_wait
64function will fail if:
65.Bl -tag -width Er
66.It Bq Er EINVAL
67The value specified by
68.Fa cond
69or the value specified by
70.Fa mutex
71is invalid.
72.It Bq Er EPERM
73The specified
74.Fa mutex
75was not locked by the calling thread.
76.It Bq Er EOWNERDEAD
77The argument
78.Fa mutex
79points to a robust mutex and the process containing the previous owning
80thread terminated while holding the mutex lock.
81The lock was granted to the caller and it is up to the new owner
82to make the state consistent.
83.It Bq Er ENOTRECOVERABLE
84The state protected by the
85.Fa mutex
86is not recoverable.

97.Fn pthread_cond_wait
98function conforms to
