Wait for an Absolute Time

cond_timedwait(3T)

#include <thread.h>

int cond_timedwait(cond_t *cv, mutex_t *mp, timestruct_t abstime)

Use cond_timedwait(3T) as you would use cond_wait(), except that cond_timedwait() does not block past the time of day specified by abstime. (For POSIX threads, see "pthread_cond_timedwait(3T)".)

cond_timedwait() always returns with the mutex locked and owned by the calling thread even when returning an error.

The cond_timedwait() function blocks until the condition is signaled or until the time of day specified by the last argument has passed. The time-out is specified as a time of day so the condition can be retested efficiently without recomputing the time-out value.
