pthread_get_expiration_np(3)				     Library Functions Manual				      pthread_get_expiration_np(3)

NAME

       pthread_get_expiration_np - Obtains a value representing a desired expiration time.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int  pthread_get_expiration_np(
			   const struct timespec    *delta,
			   struct timespec	    *abstime);

STANDARDS

       None

PARAMETERS

       Number  of  seconds and nanoseconds to add to the current system time.  (The result is the time in the future.)	This result will be placed
       in abstime.  Value representing the absolute expiration time.  The absolute expiration time is obtained by adding delta to the current sys-
       tem time.  The resulting abstime is in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine adds a specified interval to the current absolute system time and returns a new absolute time.  This new absolute time is used
       as the expiration time in a call to pthread_cond_timedwait(3).

       The timespec structure contains the following two fields: tv_sec is an integral number of  seconds.   tv.nsec  is  an  integral	number	of
       nanoseconds.

RETURN VALUES

       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by delta is invalid.

ERRORS

       None
