sia_timed_action(3)					     Library Functions Manual					       sia_timed_action(3)

NAME
       sia_timed_action - Time limit routine - SIA (Security Integration Architecture)

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <siad.h>

       int sia_timed_action(
	    int *(action)(),
	    void  *params,
	    time_t timeout);

PARAMETERS
       action()  This parameter is a function pointer to the action being timed.

       params	 The parameters to the function specified with the action() parameter.

       timeout	 The maximum time in seconds allowed for the action.

DESCRIPTION
       The  sia_timed_action()	routine  provides  a  way  to call a function with a time limit and signal protection. If SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT,
       SIGTERM, or SIGALRM is received, sia_timed_action() fails.

RETURN VALUES
       The sia_timed_action() routine returns SIAFAIL if a SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM, or SIGALRM signal is received or if a timeout occurs.
       Otherwise, the return value from the action() call is returned.

ERRORS
       The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines.  The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface,
       from dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc.  Possible errors include resource constraints	(no  memory)  and  various  authentication
       failures.
