cnd_timedwait

< c‎ | thread
Defined in header <threads.h>
int cnd_timedwait( cnd_t* restrict cond, mtx_t* restrict mutex,
                   const struct timespec* restrict time_point );
 (since C11)

Atomically unlocks the mutex pointed to by mutex and blocks on the condition variable pointed to by cond until the thread is signalled by cnd_signal or cnd_broadcast, or until the TIME_UTC based time point pointed to by time_point has been reached, or until a spurious wake-up occurs. The mutex is locked again before the function returns.

The behavior is undefined if the mutex is not already locked by the calling thread.

Parameters

cond - pointer to the condition variable to block on
mutex - pointer to the mutex to unlock for the duration of the block
time_point - pointer to an object specifying timeout time to wait until

Return value

thrd_success if successful, thrd_timedout if the timeout time has been reached before the mutex is locked, or thrd_error if an error occurred.
