NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       pthread_get_expiration_np - Obtains a value representing a
       desired expiration time

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <pthread.h>

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

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       None

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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 system  time.  The
       resulting  abstime is in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]
