Waiting for a Time Interval

cond_reltimedwait(3C) is very similar to cond_timedwait(), except for the value for the third argument. cond_reltimedwait() takes a relative time interval value in its third argument rather than an absolute time of day value. For POSIX threads, see the pthread_cond_reltimedwait_np(3C) man page.

cond_reltimedwait() always returns with the mutex locked and owned by the calling thread even when returning an error. The cond_reltimedwait() function blocks until the condition is signaled or until the time interval specified by the last argument has elapsed.

cond_reltimedwait Syntax

#include <thread.h>

int cond_reltimedwait(cond_t *cv, mutex_t *mp,
    timestruct_t reltime);

cond_reltimedwait Return Values
