.Dt SEM_TIMEDWAIT 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sem_timedwait
|
|
.Nd "lock a semaphore"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In semaphore.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sem_timedwait "sem_t * restrict sem" "const struct timespec * restrict abs_timeout"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sem_timedwait
|
|
function locks the semaphore referenced by
|
|
.Fa sem ,
|
|
as in the
|
|
.Xr sem_wait 3
|
|
function.
|
|
However, if the semaphore cannot be locked without waiting for
|
|
another process or thread to unlock the semaphore by performing
|
|
a
|
|
.Xr sem_post 3
|
|
function, this wait will be terminated when the specified timeout expires.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The timeout will expire when the absolute time specified by
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
passes, as measured by the clock on which timeouts are based (that is,
|
|
when the value of that clock equals or exceeds
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout ) ,
|
|
or if the
|
|
absolute time specified by
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
has already been passed at the time of the call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the timeout is based on the
|
|
.Dv CLOCK_REALTIME
|
|
clock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The validity of the
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
is not checked if the semaphore can be locked immediately.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sem_timedwait
|
|
function returns zero if the calling process successfully performed the
|
|
semaphore lock operation on the semaphore designated by
|
|
.Fa sem .
|
|
If the call was unsuccessful, the state of the semaphore is unchanged,
|
|
and the function returns a value of \-1 and sets the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sem_timedwait
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sem
|
|
argument does not refer to a valid semaphore, or the process or thread would
|
|
have blocked, and the
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
parameter specified a nanoseconds field value less than zero or greater than
|
|
or equal to 1000 million.
|
|
.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
|
|
The semaphore could not be locked before the specified timeout expired.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
A signal interrupted this function.
