# cnd_timedwait

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | thread

Defined in header `<threads.h>` |  |
int cnd_timedwait( cnd_t* restrict cond, mtx_t* restrict mutex, const struct timespec* restrict time_point ); |  | (since C11)

Atomically unlocks the mutex pointed to by `mutex` and blocks on the condition variable pointed to by `cond` until the thread is signalled by cnd_signal or cnd_broadcast, or until the TIME_UTC based time point pointed to by `time_point` has been reached. The mutex is locked again before the function returns.

The behavior is undefined if the mutex is not already locked by the calling thread.

### [edit] Parameters

cond | - | pointer to the condition variable to block on
mutex | - | pointer to the mutex to unlock for the duration of the block
duration | - | pointer to a object specifying timeout time to wait until

### [edit] Return value

thrd_success if successful, thrd_timedout if the timeout time has been reached before the mutex is locked, or thrd_error if an error occurred.
