pthread_get_expiration_np(3)
NAME
  pthread_get_expiration_np - Obtains a value representing a desired
  expiration time

SYNOPSIS
  #include <pthread.h>

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

LIBRARY
  DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS
  None

PARAMETERS
  delta
      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.

  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
  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:

  0   Successful completion.

  [EINVAL]
      The value specified by delta is invalid.

ERRORS
  None
