.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait "pthread_cond_t * restrict cond" "pthread_mutex_t * restrict mutex"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait "pthread_cond_t * restrict cond" "pthread_mutex_t * restrict mutex" "const struct timespec * restrict abstime"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
|
|
variable specified by
|
|
.Fa cond ,
|
|
and unblocks the mutex specified by
|
|
.Fa mutex .
|
|
The waiting thread unblocks after another thread calls
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
|
|
with the same condition variable.
|
|
The current thread holds the lock on
|
|
.Fa mutex
|
|
upon return from the
|
|
.Fa pthread_cond_wait
|
|
call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
|
|
function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
|
|
variable specified by
|
|
.Fa cond ,
|
|
and unblocks the mutex specified by
|
|
.Fa mutex .
|
|
The waiting thread unblocks after another thread calls
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
|
|
with the same condition variable, or if the system time reaches the
|
|
time specified in
|
|
.Fa abstime .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that a call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
|
|
may wake up spontaneously, without a call to
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3 .
|
|
The caller should prepare for this by invoking
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
|
|
within a predicate loop that tests whether the thread should proceed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When calling
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait ,
|
|
a temporary binding is established between the condition variable
|
|
.Fa cond
|
|
and the mutex
|
|
.Fa mutex .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The same mutex must be held while calling
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_broadcast
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_signal
|
|
on
|
|
.Fa cond .
|
|
Additionally, the same mutex must be used for concurrent calls to
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait .
|
|
Only when a condition variable is known to be quiescent may an application
|
|
change the mutex associated with it.
|
|
In this implementation, none of the functions enforce this requirement, but
|
|
if the mutex is not held or independent mutexes are used the resulting
|
|
behaviour is undefined.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_timedwait
|
|
functions will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise an error number will be returned to
|
|
indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
|
|
may fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
