pthread_condattr_getclock(3p)

NAME

pthread_condattr_getclock, pthread_condattr_setclock - get and set the clock selection condition variable attribute (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_condattr_getclock(const pthread_condattr_t *restrict attr,
       clockid_t *restrict clock_id);
int pthread_condattr_setclock(pthread_condattr_t *attr,
       clockid_t clock_id);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_condattr_getclock() function shall obtain the value of the clock attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr. The pthread_condattr_setclock() function shall set the clock attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr. If pthread_condattr_setclock() is called with a clock_id argument that refers to a CPU-time clock, the call shall fail.

The clock attribute is the clock ID of the clock that shall be used to measure the timeout service of pthread_cond_timedwait(). The default value of the clock attribute shall refer to the system clock.

RETURN VALUE

If successful, the pthread_condattr_getclock() function shall return zero and store the value of the clock attribute of attr into the object referenced by the clock_id argument. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

If successful, the pthread_condattr_setclock() function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

These functions may fail if:

EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid.

The pthread_condattr_setclock() function may fail if:

EINVAL The value specified by clock_id does not refer to a known clock,

or is a CPU-time clock.

These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
