|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn kpause
|
|
makes the calling LWP sleep.
|
|
It's similar to
|
|
.Xr cv_timedwait_sig 9
|
|
without the corresponding
|
|
.Xr cv_signal 9 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn kpause
|
|
can wake up spontaneously.
|
|
Callers should prepare to handle it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width wmesg
|
|
.It Fa wmesg
|
|
Specifies a string of no more than 8 characters that describes
|
|
the resource or condition associated with the call of
|
|
.Fn kpause .
|
|
The kernel does not use this argument directly but makes it available for
|
|
utilities such as
|
|
.Xr ps 1
|
|
to display.
|
|
.It Fa intr
|
|
If true, sleep interruptably.
|
|
If the LWP receives a signal, or is interrupted by another condition such
|
|
as its containing process exiting, the wait is ended early and an error
|
|
code returned.
|
|
.It Fa timeo
|
|
Specify a timeout.
|
|
It is an architecture and system dependent value related to the number of
|
|
clock interrupts per second.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr hz 9
|
|
for details.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr mstohz 9
|
|
macro can be used to convert a timeout expressed in milliseconds to
|
|
one suitable for
|
|
.Fn kpause .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Zero means no timeout.
|
|
.It Fa mtx
|
|
Convenience and symmetry with other synchronization operations.
|
|
If not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa mtx
|
|
will be released once the LWP has prepared to sleep, and will be reacquired
|
|
before
|
|
.Fn kpause
|
|
returns.

|

.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn kpause
|
|
returns 0 when waking up spontaneously.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
It returns an error number.

|
property.
|

.It Bq Er ERESTART
|
|
.Fn kpause

|
returned as a result of a signal with
|
|
.Dv SA_RESTART
|
|
property.
|
|
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
