26.Dt PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMEDLOCK 3
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm pthread_mutex_timedlock
30.Nd lock a mutex without blocking indefinitely
31.Sh LIBRARY
32.Lb libpthread
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In pthread.h
35.In time.h
36.Ft int
37.Fn pthread_mutex_timedlock "pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex" "const struct timespec *restrict abs_timeout"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Fn pthread_mutex_timedlock
41function will lock
42.Fa mutex .
43If it is already locked the calling thread will block until
44the mutex becomes available or
45the timeout,
46specified by abs_timeout,
47expires.
48The time of the timeout is an absolute time and
49is not relative to the current time.
50.Sh RETURN VALUES
51If successful,
52.Fn pthread_mutex_timedlock
53will return zero, otherwise an error number will be returned to
54indicate the error.
55.Sh ERRORS
56The
57.Fn pthread_mutex_timedlock
58function will fail if:
59.Bl -tag -width Er
60.It Bq "Er ENOTRECOVERABLE"
61The
62.Fa mutex
63was created with the protocol attribute having the
64value PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and
65the calling thread's priority is higher than the
66mutex's current priority ceiling.
67.It Bq Er EINVAL
68The process or thread would have blocked, and
69.Fa abs_timeout
70specified a nanosecond value less than zero or
71greater than or equal to 1 billion.
72.It Bq Er EINVAL
73The
74.Fa mutex
75parameter is invalid.
76.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
77The
78.Fa mutex
79could not be locked before the timeout expired.
80.It Bq Er EAGAIN
81The
82.Fa mutex
83could not be acquired because the
84maximum number of recursive locks for the
85.Fa mutex
86has been exceeded.
87.It Bq Er EDEADLK
88The current thread already owns the
89.Fa mutex .
90.It Bq Er EOWNERDEAD
91The argument
92.Fa mutex
93points to a robust mutex and the process containing the previous owning
94thread terminated while holding the mutex lock.
95The lock was granted to the caller and it is up to the new owner
96to make the state consistent.
97.It Bq Er ENOTRECOVERABLE
98The state protected by the
99.Fa mutex
100is not recoverable.
